Didn't know what I was missing!

I wanted to say that in the past week I have been endoctrinated to KALE. I used to put it in my green smoothies but besides that I had no clue what to do with it. IN the last week I have made a nice Kale Salad with Marinated portabella mushrooms and 2 days ago I finally made the famous dehydrated Kale Chips. All I can say is Wow! The texture is just like potato chips and they were great! I also made a raw pumpkin cheesecake recipe this week which was also to die for!

Anyway just wanted to strongly encourage those who have a dehydrator to try Kale Chips. It took me over 2 years being raw to try them and I should have done them much sooner!:D I love raw food!

Kale is my superfood! Of all the new raw food I have discovered in the last year, this is the #1 item that gives me an energy boost every time. I eat it mainly in salads with lots of lemon juice and tomato to offset the bitterness.

I LOVE KALE TOO : ) yummy. kale smoothies healed me my first few months raw. then i got into salads like too, yet to try the chips but now i will. did you know there is a group that dresses like kale and sings to kids about how great it is for them?

anyway,
welcome to green heaven!
: )

I *LoVe* marinated kale salad!

I use my thinnest slicing blade on the food proccessor and slice it all. Toss it with 1-2 tablespoons of EVOO and a little sea salt and massage away. Then I add all my goodies. I could live on this! *Ü*

i made kale chips again today and they have yet to last more than minutes out of the dehydrator. yum!

i grow it amongst my greens assortment and its amazing how much better it tastes once the fall cold nights start to settle in , it becomes less mustardy / brassy . i was bummed when the freezing temps hit and wiped out my crop . though ive been getting a little from a few plants covered in straw til recently .

I eat kale chips fairly often, myself... this makes me want to put together a batch as soon as I can get my head to turn again. (Dang neck went out this weekend...)

I love to marinate it, or have it in salad or smoothies. I don't have a dehydrator yet but when I get one I would love to make the chips :D

sorry if being nosy :o , but if necks a disc problem wondering if youve ever tried an inversion bench . my friend had a slipped disc that would go out in his back and the dr's wanted surgery for years then tried the inversion bench and it healed .

I looove Kale too! Especially this winter here in Michigan!....I've had to have it in the house every day for green smoothies and wilted greens.....I do enjoy the Kale chips too....I enjoy it too because it lasts a while in the fridge....I did have luck growing it over the Winter one year......

I have three bunches right now:)....any great kale salad recipes???

[Morn]

I am so glad you all share my love for the green goodness!

GlimR. Here is a link to a Christmas Kale Salad. I haven't tried it yet myself but it sounds good! http://www.rawfreedomcommunity.info/forum/showthread.php?p=45845#post45845

The Kale Salad I did recently I made from stratch and didn't work from a recipe. I just used fresh lemon, EVOO, and Braggs, and herbs. Then I put in marinated portabella mushrooms, pinenuts, and red pepper and red onion. It was awesome!

I love kale too! Sometimes it's so hard to find GOOD. What I find at local Walmart usually looks like it's been ran over by the produce truck:eek:. I usually have to hunt it down at another store. I do love....LOVE kale chips though. Never had a salad with it, but I need to try that soon.

Thanks for sharing. Isn't it great to realize you love something that you KNOW you didn't like before raw!! After a few months on raw, I found out that I LOVE watermelon and cantelope, when all my life I tried to like them, but never did!:D

I am a kale lover, too. :) I have never had the chips, as I don't have a dehydrator. I love kale GS, and just recently had the oil massaged kale salad. wow, i was impressed. I used to eat a lot of cooked kale, but this is just as good, if not better.

I love love love love Kale Chips... so so good.
