Sauteed Kale with Apples

I remember using Kale as a garnish when I was working as a line cook in the 90's. I later found out it was actually edible but resisted trying Kale. Finally, at a retirement community I was working at  I tried this strange veggie and I thought it was horrible. I remember Kale being super bitter and chewy.

Last week I received Kale in my veggie box from a local farm. I know Kale is very healthy so I decided to give it another try. After some research and a little work I came up with a Kale recipe.
I was nervous as I took the first bite of the finished product but was pleasantly surprised. I really like Kale!

Here is the recipe.
