New recipes are floating around, seem to be all the rage...
Few years ago, it was quinoa...still going strong. Lately, I've been seeing more and more recipes for kale...the new magical ingredient. Anybody cook with kale? Why is it so great?

Grandmother used to make kale when I was a youngster. She used a bit of barley in it and salt pork. I just remember I liked it a lot.

I heard that on Fox News the other day. There's even different colored kale. I just assumed you cooked kale like and other green leafed vegetable. Anyway, they were saying it's full of vitamins and anti-oxidants. Also, good for your cardiovascular system. Wonder if it matches up well with pig?

It's not a KCBS approved garnish, so fuggit! Mike It is mighty tasty deep fried though.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I get pissed off when someone dreams up one of these new ingredients/spices/flavors/ and after its been out for five minutes everybody acts like, "Oh, yeah, I've known about that for years and years, hasn't everybody?"

I suppose, but in the case of squash, I have no interest in cooking it in other than the typical and traditional ways

I have kale growing in the garden. I put it in the mixed greens when I cook them, instead of, but like plain turnip greens. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I've only ever baked squash. I'd guess boiled squash has zero flavor - it would go down the drain with the water. Try baking it...with butter and brown sugar!

If any of you have had pumpkin pie that wasn't made from scratch with pumpkins, you have had butternut squash. You can substitute it for any recipe calling for pumpkin or acorn squash. Great in chilies, soups, and with butter and brown sugar.
Kale is great when substituted for most any bitter green like mustard or turnips.
Teal, that cartoon is hilarious.

It makes a great garnish for color, but it looks better in the trash can.

ever tried spaghetti squash? Good stuff! Love it. Made some a week or two back with a clam sauce. Delicious! Also real good just tossed with butter, s&p, garlic, and sliced up bratwurst.

I haven't used kale much because I usually have collards from my plants and don't really need to substitute kale. And, I do use collards in my yellow squash and zucchini casseroles from time to time. Baked butternut squash with cinnamon and nutmeg is awesome. But, I prefer it mashed with butter, salt & pepper, 1/2 and 1/2. Put that under some Osso Bucco with a splash of balsamic honey glaze. Some sauteed or roasted asparagus on the side with olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper, and a little of the glaze drizzled over the top once they get hot and tell me it sucks.

Spinach is much better....IMHO....Besides, you can wrap bacon around asparagus, BBQ and call it a night. Don't think Kale is going to work with bacon?
