Well I tried..

Seems kale is a food fad right now.By mistake I picked up a bag of spinach & baby kale mixed.man I tasted that kale asap.   Picked it out of my salad & tossed it.

Sooooooooooo I came across a  half bag of quinoa in the cupboard,threw it in the ricemaker,Smelled like wet dirt cooking.  

    major no like on both.  

 

That's OK ~ to each his (or her) own....

Me, I like both the kale and the quinoa. But Dane doesn't (except the colcannon mashed potatoes I made with potatoes, kale & bacon).

Same as you like all kinds of cheeses and I'm REAL particular about what I can swallow.

Which reminds me....we went out to eat and I asked for Ranch Dressing for my salad (on the side). I thought it looked "chunky" but didn't think much of it. All of a sudden I got COTTAGE CHEESE in my mouth and gagged. Who makes Ranch Dressing with COTTAGE CHEESE ????? It almost ruined my whole meal.

Thank goodness I had a fresh Margarita to cleanse my tongue! lol

Barb, try cooking the quinoa in chicken stock instead of water. It gives it a great flavor and gets rid of that 'dirt' smell. Cooked in plain water is nasty!

Agreed, Jana....and after it's cooked mix in some vegetables.

    I put 2 heaping big spoonfuls in the 'girls' food I made for them. Both smelled it, looked at me with that what the heck is this.     

They ate some.They dumped the food on the floor bite by bite & ate the good stuff.  

I don't like kale either. I think it has a funky taste.
