Comments: 6/28/2023 - I started with frozen, chopped kale, and thawed the amount I wanted for one meal. I used 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. I omitted the red pepper flakes. It tasted too salty.
