Hi everyone!
I hope you’ve been having a good week. I had a terrible cold this past weekend and it threw my whole blogging schedule off. I wasn’t able to test and photograph any new recipes over the weekend so I’m kinda bummed about that!
Whenever I’m sick I totally revert back to my childhood and live off of macaroni and cheese and crackers. While I totally enjoyed several (three) boxes of macaroni over the past four days, I’m definitely starting to feel better and want to get back to eating my normal foods again!
I’ve seen so many good recipes with kale lately, I thought this tasty veggie would be a good theme for my weekly food roundup.
My favorite way to cook kale is by lightly sauteing in some olive oil and minced garlic. How do you like to cook yours? Today I’ve got twelve drool-worthy kale recipes for you to gawk at! Check out my kale roundup:

Hi Emily!
Thank you so much for including our soba noodles with roasted tomatoes and kale recipe.
Feel better soon!
I can’t wait to try your recipe, it looks so good!
i got a cookbook by Julia at the roasted root and i have been enjoying salads from there. Also, that enchillada and quesadilla both look amazing. i hope you feel better.
I’ve been wanting to try out that book! I’ve heard amazing things about it!
Hi Emily!! Thank you so much for featuring my garlic kale and poached eggs toast! Feel better soon!! Although living off of macaroni and cheese doesn’t sound too too terrible ;)

Your recipe looks SO good! :) And I know… it’s hard going back to healthy food haha!
My favorite kale recipe is the one that involves leaving at the grocery store and eating mac and cheese instead ;) I have tried it several times in several different recipes and I just don’t like it! Maybe if it was rolled in enchiladas and covered in cheese though… Worth a try!
I definitely like warm kale better than raw kale. We have been sauteing it with garlic and olive oil, and it’s really good. You just need it to get soft and add a bunch of spices, and it’s good!
Kale rocks! When ever I buy it though, they only ever have massive bunches of it and since I am the only one eating it, I like to rip up the extras and freeze the leaves to put in smoothie for later!
That’s a great idea! I always have leftover leaves. Totally going to freeze it next time.
That is a total bummer about being sick this week. Summer colds are the worst!! Glad you’re feeling better though.
All these kale ideas look really really yummy. My favorite is to make kale chips in the dehydrator or sauté it like you do.
Get well soon :)
Yum, I’ll have to make kale chips again soon!
Thanks so much for featuring our Detox Kale Salad! The whole Food Fanatic crew is glad you’re starting to feel better. :)
Your salad recipe looks so awesome! Just what I need after a few days of comfort food indulges ;)
