Good pasta sauce using kale?!
I need a vegan pasta sauce that uses kale in a way which would make it difficult to taste the kale in it!.
Reason being, I have a toddler that loves her fruits and veggies (and I'm darn proud of it) but kale is, let's face it, a really hard sell to a sly little girl!.
Vegan if possible because I'd like it to be something I can eat too!.
P!.S!. Any other way to disguise kale is appreciated as well!. No horrid kale chocolate vegan cookies though, I have tried and repented for my error!.
