Creamed Kale Recipe

Looking for a last minute Thanksgiving side dish? Consider making this creamed kale instead of a traditional creamed spinach dish. While kale and spinach have similar nutritional profiles and both are packed with healthy benefits, kale boosts more iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Manganese so it is a great way to boost your nutritional intake on a day usually packed with foods that are high in calories and fat. Most importantly, it tastes delicious and I would bet most of your guests won’t even be able to tell that you replaced their spinach with kale.
