I get to bring the greens to Thanksgiving and I have no clue what kind of recipe to use. There will be a few veg*ns at Thanksgiving dinner, but it's mostly people who put bacon on birthday cakes. I'm hoping for something a little more flashy than plain sauteed kale but still recognizable as food to the bacon-cake people.

I came up with this recipe recently when trying to use up all the goodies from my CSA shipment. This one was my hubby's favorite for the Kale.

 hello! and apologies if either of these questions have already been asked.  I already have a huge amount of fresh mint and I have kale and am about to come by a huge amount more..  what to do?  I am particularly wondering about things that would be compact and/or last for a long time.  I already have made iced green mint tea with some of the mint ( Read more... )

Kale is a bit of a rarity around here. I'd never heard of it or seen it until I moved to the city. Even in the city I can only get it in a big supermarket.

Hi,

quick questions: I want to make kale chips for my packed lunches but don't have time to cook it every morning. Can I do a big batch and store it? How could it be stored? How long will it last?

I have a beautiful kale plant growing in my garden and I just realized yesterday how big it actually was. So, I picked a few leaves and a salad was born. I chopped up the kale, added baby zucchini, tomatoes, and kalamata olives, drizzled with balsamic, and sprinkled with nutritional yeast.

The garden I share is currently just overrun with kale and chard, so I've been eating a lot of greens this summer and looking for different seasoning combos to dress them up with. Here's one that worked particularly well, which I think would work just as well with collards:

1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 to 1 tsp. nanami ( Read more... )

I want to make the Baked Potato and Greens Soup with Potato-Wedge Croutons from Veganamicon, but I don't particularly like kale. I would normally substitute with spinach, which I love, but my daughter hates it. What would you recommend instead ( Read more... )

i need to eat more green leafies. i know i do. so this week i bought the prettiest little head of purple kale (with curly leaves... i have no idea what variety this is). i've made kale exactly once before, in a vegan "creamed" dish, and while it was more edible than i expected, it wasn't spectacular. i guess i don't like bland creamed things, even ( Read more... )
