    That's quite the successful list! What did you try with kale? One of my favorite applications for greens is roasting — wash, then toss with a tsp or two of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread thinly on a baking sheet and roast until slightly crispy in a 500 degree oven. You'll have to check frequently, about every 5 minutes, and turn everything over once it starts browning around the edges.

    I've always eaten a variety so I haven't really tried anything new. I have confirmed my dislike of Brussel's sprouts, spinach, and lima beans though.
