Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet, yet college students tend to steer clear. But why? It’s an adaptable vegetable that can add a health kick to soups, stews, stir-frys, pasta, salads and much more. I really didn’t like kale until my mom crisped it up in the skillet with some garlic. Try this one out – it’s the perfect starter-recipe for any kale nube.
