  1. I’m a kale lover but only in a soup I make, Zuppa Tuscana, and raw in salads. I grow my own kale.

  4. I don’t know if I like Kale or not. I’ve never eaten it. What does it taste like? Spinach? Turnip greens? I would might try it if I had an idea what it tastes like.

  10. Team Mavis. I can only eat it when it is mixed into something and I can’t taste it. I do love the bag! Thanks!

  14. Kale mixed in the salad with poppy seed dressing is fantastic-even my 10 year old loves it. Kale by itself triggers my gag reflex.

  16. I’m a kale lover. Wouldn’t eat it every day, but I do make Portuguese kale soup and kale frittata regularly.

  20. I love kale! But not that curly stuff they use to line salad bars. Beira trochunda aka sea kale is the best!

  23. I did comment on your post “I think I could fit all my clothes in a large suitcase.”
    Which is more than impressive to me. I occupy a whole walk-in closet with my cloths, had to kick my husband’s cloths out to the closet in our spare room 😉

  24. Since my daughter was two we have grown food together. We always grow kale for her dad. She believed for years it was his favorite. (He hates kale). This year she says I think daddy has tricked us. He don’t really like kale. Heehee I was the one that told her he loves it. We don’t like kale.

  29. Lover off homemade kale chips, and we eat it warm wit artichoke ravioli with balsamic and olive oil! These are aweaome!

  31. I am a kale lover!!! I am following you on instagram and facebook. I also started following Tater Tats, as well!

  36. I think I am team kale, but I may be biased as my son’s name is Kael (slightly different spelling, gaelic name). I will say I like kale in things, not all alone, as part of mixed greens… awesome. As part of a dish… great. All alone, I’ll pass.

  46. i am firmly, and without apology, Team Mavis. Grew up in the south and have never been a fan of the dark leafy greens. Probably a direct result of being forced to eat collards with ham hocks at nearly every meal growing up.

  48. No Kale around here! That stuff looks like something the dinosaurs would eat IF they didn’t have anything else. Team Mavis all the way.

  60. Team Kale!!!

    I like you on Facebook and commented there on the giveaway post as well. 🙂

  61. I LOVE kale, and all greens. I grow my own and could pick it every day. My favorite way to fix it is to cook with bacon, mushrooms, garlic and onions. Yummy! I love love your site also – have learned so much from you. Thanks!

  73. Hi Mavis,

    I am on Team KALE – – – I love the stuff. I add it to vegetable soup and love it steamed as a side veggie.

  78. Kale Yeah Ya’ll! Well, only like 2-3 x a week max. Then I draw the line. Well, unless its snuck into a smoothie or something…..sneaky Kale.

  83. Team Kale for me. smoothies, soups or sauteed with garlic…yum. And I am a total Mavis stalker—I follow you on Pinterest..FB..Instagram..newsletter/ email. I just signed on to Tater Tats…so cute they are. Thanks for the fun giveaways!!!

  94. Team KALE all the way! I’ve been following you on Pinterest and have been subscribed to your newsletter for a while now too. Go Mavis and Kale!! B-)

  98. I am a VEGGIE LOVER and a KALE tolerater. I’d be OK if I never saw a Kale Chip again! Go Team Mavis. I also “like” you on Facebook; get your daily newsletter; and commented on your FB page under the “cool uses for vinegar” post!!

  100. LOVE KALE!!! Especially kale chips. But it’s great in salads and I dehydrate kale to add to my winter soup pot. My kitty, Sophie, steals a couple leafs…she loves it too!

  101. Kale Lover!! In a salad with salt, pepper, oil, vinegar….yummy! Or cooked down really slow with salt pork…best greens you ever had.

  107. Kale Yeah..I’m on Team Mavis! I grow kale because it does look nice in the garden but I give it to my neighbors.

  110. Can I be in the middle? I like kale but I’m tired of the “trendy” factor. I try to feed my family a balanced diet and stick to my grandma’s mantra “Everything in moderation”. Thanks for the chance to win. I lovr your blog, even though I personally can only grow dandelions and crab grass!

  114. I’m pretty kale neutral. I can take it or leave it. In some soups, in salads, etc, sure, why not. I’ll even add it to smoothies. But I don’t particularly love the stuff either.

  116. I follow you on instagram and liked your kale/Lucy photo. AND I tried to make the zucchini chocolate cake and it was a major bust, instagram is the proof. I am thinking I didn’t strain the zucchini enough . . . who knows!

  118. Team Kale – love it raw in salads, in soups, sauteed in a little chicken broth and butter. Yeah, I’m a fan. But Team Mavis, too, because Mavis is awesomeness!

  119. I love kale! I grew up eating Portuguese kale soup. I’m happy to see how popular it has become.

  120. Team Mavis – kale is awful – besides, there are other greens that are just as good for you, if not better!

  122. Team Mavis – even tried it in a soup – cannot handle the texture. I do wish i liked kale, if only for the nutritional value but it just isn’t going to happen. Also subscribed to your newsletter.

  123. The first time I ate kale I made it with homemade chicken and lentil soup. I fell in love with the new green stuff in my life.

  124. Team Mavis! Can’t stand the stuff. My son loves it in his smoothies, so i buy it weekly. Even tried to make kale chips, yuck!

  126. kale lover..but only if it’s home grown. russian red is my favorite this season….pile 8-10 leaves, roll into a cigar shape, chiffonade (cut super thinly), throw in boiling water til bright green, pile on dinner plate, add grass fed butter and a good balsamic vinegar, chow down….add 10 years to your life.

  136. I follow you on Pinterest, youtube, facebook and google plus, I don’t have instagram or twitter, so can’t follow you on those.

  137. Tried to post a comment on your facebook page, but it would not open comments for me at all, tried multiple different ones. So posted a new post saying I could not post in comments

  141. I am on team kale, but I don’t like all those little bugs I get when I grow them in the garden. Yuck.

  149. I subscribe to your daily emails, this helps me stay up to date on all good deals, and garden ideas!

  160. I love kale, it grows year-round here in upstate South Carolina. My favorite variety is Red Russian…if you broil or sautée the ribs of the leaves, they taste exactly like asparagus. Curly Blue Vates dwarf variety is a winner too…kale chips…yum!

  174. Can I be on the fence? I love it in soups but that seems to be the only way. I’m Team Mavis for anything else.

  190. I already subscribe to your newsletter. that is how i got Team Kale contest info. ☺

  191. I checked out tater tats on instagram. great pics. im trying to limit my social media avenues ( to manage my time and streamline) so I liked them on facebook to show my support ☺

  212. Well, I commented on your laundry money and the $4 dollar dress I think yesterday, but I just headed over now and commented on the crazy cost of insurance on your post about being sick and going to the doc’s only to feel better later that day.

  213. Team Mavis! I really want to like Kale. I’m growing it in my garden but I’m just not a fan yet.

  220. yes to kale!
    5 varieties atleast
    great in the winter here
    and shoots in the spring are divinely delicious

  231. Not a fan of kale. I can tolerate in small amounts, like chopped real small and mixed with other greens in a salad. But I’m definitely not going to go out of my way to eat it.

  232. I seriously love kale. The major way is kale chips, but I also like it in salad.

    Bonus if make a kale salad is that I get to eat almost all of it myself.

    Also like creamed kale and Indian curried kale.

  233. Also, I just started following you on facebook, which I’d have done way earlier if I knew you were on there!

  237. Mavis, I totally hate Kale and also Cilantro. Been veggie for over 30 years but can’t eat either. I was told by my friendly Co-op bagger that you are genetically pre-disposed to either hate or love cilantro. I guess I got the anti Kale gene also.
    Been following you as a lurker for several years and I am the proud mom of Frank and Lily, Pug brother and sister team (waving paws at Lucy)
    I hope you get chickens again someday as I loved reading about your flock.

  238. I love the tender young stuff, but not the old tough leaves… I guess I practice kale age discrimination. 🙂

  239. This blog rocks! Subscribed to email…I grow curly kale and baby kale..Love making homemade kale chips and the baby kale mixes into salads really well…Team Mavis for the plain taste of kale…Kale Yeah for the benefits!

  243. AND… FB follower. Need to follow you on Instagram too – I’ll do that in a jif.

  245. I’m on the fence with kale. Its good cooked in soups, on pizza, etc. But I am not a fan of kale salad. Its too tough!

  247. I love kale! Especially kale chips. My son will ask me to buy the biggest bunch i can and roast up some chips. the chips barely cool down before he is scoffing them down!

  254. Can I be in the middle? I like kale in soups and some salads as long as it’s not too thick and bristlely (it that a word?) I am not in love with growing it but I do love that it is sooo healthy for you!
    Garden on!

  255. Team Mavis for sure. I like the Whole Foods smoothies, but don’t really like it any other way.

  258. “I don’t understand why people say hurtful things like let’s go for a run”. lolol. I would RATHER run. (Bobbi Dougherty)

  259. I love dinosaur kale from my garden. I saute it with sweet onion in a little olive oil and also add it to soups.
    Not crazy about other varieties and I never buy kale at the store.

  268. I grow it. I like it, IF I cannot taste it. I guess I’ll join the Team Kale side, since I know it’s good for me. 🙂

  271. Kale lover! I’ve grown to love it, or it has grown on me. The more I eat, the more I want! And I sneak it in all my kids foods. Mashed potatoes, smoothies, spaghetti sauce… So tasty and after I eat it I feel great.

  273. I’m on the fence with this one Mavis. I definitely don’t like eating kale. But, I do juice kale and love the healthy benefits it offers. Eating kale – Team Mavis. Juicing kale – Kale YEAH!

  278. Love me some kale!! But only in salads, never had it cooked….something unappealing to me about floppy green stuff.

  280. I follow you on Facebook as valerie sandel-stayton,
    on Twitter as @my_simplethings
    on Instagram vstayton
    on Pinterest as my2cents
    on Youtube as valerie stayton
    on Google+ as valerie stayton

  284. Mostly Team Mavis, but I can eat it in it’s baby stage as salad greens with parmesan and a lemon vinaigette.

  286. I’m totally team Kale. Just had it for breakfast sauteed mix with spinach mushrooms and tomatoes, on top of a flour tortilla with tofu scramble on top! AMAZING!

  289. KALE YEAH! We grow it and use it in smoothies, feed it to our chickens and it’s great sauteed with olive oil and garlic and we grow that too.

  297. Team Kale! I am now growing three varieties. I follow you on Facebook, Pinterest, and email blog. Thanks for all the great info.

  298. Love kale! Hated it as a child, when my mother grew it in abundance in our garden. Never heard a peep about kale anywhere else until I was an adult. Now love it and am making up for lost time.

  303. Kale “lover” ? I’ve learned to like Kale over the last few years after being a hater before.

  308. Team Mavis! Although I’ve found I can tolerate the Girl’s Blueberry-Kale-smoothie. Thanks, Mavis…and the Girl!

  310. I love kale–it’s so good in zuppa tuscana soup, and it holds up to strong dressings in salads (caesar salad made from kale is awesome, and I need a 12-step program for Trader Joe’s kale and edamame salad).

  316. I LOVE Kale!! Maybe it’s the southerner in me. And I LOVE wearing my Eat More Kale shirt. I would definitely wear a Kale Yeah one. Bonus: I followed you on IG. Bonus: I followed Tater Tats on IG. Bonus: I left a comment on one of your FB posts. Thanks!

  318. team kale, but only in smoothies chopped up so fine so i can’t taste it. i love the green color – it makes me feel like I’m doing something good, but i don’t have to suffer for it.
