It's all about balance, right? Well, after a weekend of "Die Happy" burgers, I'm still alive and craving something a little lighter. It also happens to be one of Lulu's favorite treats- Kale!
Oh yes, my crazy feral rescue cat loves it more than meat. The funny thing is she seemed to be addicted to bacon when I first got her, but now she doesn't like bacon at all.
If I have kale in the fridge, she will not allow me to go anywhere near the fridge without stalking me. I'll tear off a little piece, and she'll gobble it up! She gets up on her hind legs and begs for it, swiping at it with her paw to get it away from me. Poor thing hates it when I ruin the kale by tossing it in a sauté pan with a little canola oil, fresh ginger and garlic- my favorite way to prepare it.
Some people joke about kale- it's such an Oregon, paleo, healthy-hipster kind of thing, and I think it sometimes gets a bad rap because too many yucky looking green smoothies have been made out of it. Call us old-fashioned, but Lulu and I prefer kale in more of a whole form.
