This old Irish recipe traditionally contains cabbage, but here kale is substituted and it’s extremely yummy. This makes a great comfort food side dish with a little nutrition wrapped in! Even my greens haters will eat it.
Colcannon
5 lb chopped potatoes (peeled or not)
5 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
4 T 0live oil
8 cups roughly chopped kale
3 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke
2 T nutritional yeast (optional)
4 T soy milk or creamer
Salt and pepper to taste
Chop potatoes (skins on or off) and put on to boil. Put olive oil and garlic in a large pan and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add kale, soy sauce, and liquid smoke and toss to coat. Cook kale at medium high until tender. When potatoes are tender, drain. While 
potatoes are draining, add milk to kale mix to warm. Then combine ingredients and mash by hand or with an electric mixer. I leave these a little more solid than I would mashed potatoes, since the kale is in there. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sometimes, you just really need a cookie. And, what I wanted was oatmeal raisin, but one of the children had eaten all of the raisins. So, out of necessity, I scouted out a wide variety of oatmeal peanut butter cookie recipes and squished them together into this!
This choice is more complicated than it may seem on the surface. Pediatricians and family members will want to weigh in on the decision. If the parents have a similar diet, they might more easily select to raise baby in that same way. But, if they have dietary differences (vegetarian and vegan, vegan and omnivore, etc.), there might need to be some negotiation. Presence of older children in the home, and what sort of diet they have, is also an issue. And then childcare must be considered. If the baby will be regularly cared for by a relative, friend, or paid carer with a very different diet, that might be an issue.
