I am the kale queen, I use it in a lot of dishes. I had some on home made pizza tonight. I remove the central vein, chiffonade the leaves and throw it in soup, stir fry, pizza, beans (lentils and kale, yum), etc. My favorite way is to sauté it with lots of garlic and oregano and a red pepper flakes to make a pasta dressing, top with cheese. Its best if you use good quality pasta. Or maybe my favorite is a casserole that layers potatoes, onion and chopped kale topped with cheese. You can add bacon, etc if you want. If you don't like kale you can hide it and it just adds to the flavor of many things, its great in home made vegetable soup.

I put it in smoothie type drinks too. I also make kale chips. tear pieces off the vein, toss with a little olive oil and bake at 350 degrees till crisp. Add salt when done. the flavor is pretty intense but they are nice and crispy.
