I have a feeling that this is the very first recipe I’ve shared that has kale in it. Gasp, shock horror!!! It is not that I don’t like kale, I actually like it just fine.

The GI tract is home to trillions of bacteria and microbes collectively known as the microbiome and works to process and absorb nutrients.

Preparation A 2017 study found staggering amounts of bacteria inside a typical household sponge—up to 45 billion per square centimeter. Sponges are still more sustainable than paper towels, but moist ones are breeding grounds for germs. To keep them at bay, use all-natural sea sponges, which have inherent antibacterial properties, and disinfect them at least every few days. Jessica Ek, a director at the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), suggests soaking them for five minutes in a solution of one quart water and three tablespoons chlorine bleach, then rinsing and letting them air-dry....
