    I oven bake my kale with sea salt.

    It gets the texture of a thin potato chip.
    QFT. Kale's really crinkly, so it gets all crunchy if you bake it this way. My kids - 4 and 1.5 years old - both love it.

    I thought people thought I was pronouncing it wrong "quin - No - ah" I'm going to carry on with my pronunciation though, sticking it to the man, YEAH! .... yeah

    You mean to say it's not pronounced like that ?

    Haven't eaten kale - ever. Not in a hurry to run out at try it. Quinoa - only had it for the first time last week. I liked it actually, but there was also garlic involved, and i lurve garlic.


    No need to eat either one, if you don't want to.

    If you are going to eat Kale raw, try to buy red kale varieties. They aren't nearly as harsh of a flavor, and really easy to cover up.

    I love kale and quinoa but I intensely dislike okra and liver except my late mother-in-law's chopped liver-but I still think I'm a pretty nice person.

    Cup of kale, cup of spinach with green peppers, sea salt and half a tablespoon of flax. Five to six days a week. Was never a fan, but knowing how good for you it is, tough to go wrong. Actually look forward to it each day.

    I was never a huge fan of it cooked (Prefer Spinach) and not a Collard Greens fan at all, but this recipe really kicked it in for kale for my wife and I . We probably eat this 4-5 times a week (We make the sprout and kale part of the recipe and store it in a bag in the fridge. takes a couple of minutes to whip up a salad to go with lunch or dinner) http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/kale-and-brussels-sprout-salad

    So, there is such a thing as too much kale, especially if you're on anticoagulants... (from WebMD)

    Eating a diet rich in the powerful antioxidant vitamin K can reduce the overall risk of developing or dying from cancer, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Vitamin K is abundant in kale but also found in parsley, spinach, collard greens, and animal products such as cheese.

    Vitamin K is necessary for a wide variety of bodily functions, including normal blood clotting, antioxidant activity, and bone health.

    But too much vitamin K can pose problems for some people. Anyone taking anticoagulants such as warfarin should avoid kale because the high level of vitamin K may interfere with the drugs. Consult your doctor before adding kale to your diet.

    Kale might be a powerhouse of nutrients but is also contains oxalates, naturally occurring substances that can interfere with the absorption of calcium. Avoid eating calcium-rich foods like dairy at the same time as kale to prevent any problems.

    Not everyone is going to like every vegetable or health food in the world. There are plenty of amazing and delicious good for you foods out there! I happen to love kale and quinoa, but I detest, say, okra. Unless it's in Indian food.

    This is probably my all-time favorite quinoa recipe. Because tacos. http://www.cookingclassy.com/2013/04/quinoa-black-bean-and-corn-tacos/

    I make this kale, quinoa, and edamame salad a lot in the summer: http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2012/09/kale-edamame-and-quinoa-salad-with-lemon-vinaigrette/

    I also like quinoa with mushrooms, kale, and sweet potato. I made this once without the mushrooms and it was bland and definitely missing something. Mushrooms rule my world.

    But if kale and/or quinoa aren't your thing, then don't force it to be!
