Its been a while since we have put any recipes up, but I know many of our Paleo Challengers are still at it. I (Kelly) have been searching for a way to increase my Calcium intake, and I found this most excellent kale recipe. I made it last night and it was so delicious I decided to share.
Even got the kids to eat it….(OK, I won’t lie, cheerleading was involved)
