RECIPE BACKSTORY
First of all, I hadn't heard of Kale until being introduced to it by my mom. I tried Kale Chips which to my surprise, were delicious!! It was the only way she could get my younger siblings to eat kale. The more I learned about kale and it's super-food benefits, I began cooking it all the time! I got a bit creative one day with breakfast and decided to try it sauteed along-side my eggs using my intuition to tell me what would make it taste scrumptious.
