Apparently, when incorporating the pulp from your new juicer into quick bread so that you're not wasting anything, all recipes are not created equal. Yes, I realize that kale doesn't work well in sweets (thought some of the blogs made it sound like substituting anything into zucchini bread would work), so that's probably part of the reason the stuff tasted a bit off, but still...
I honestly don't have the recipe anymore and I probably wouldn't share it if I did (under this useage anyway). While I'm sure it makes great carrot or zucchini bread, it didn't work for me...which was actually very disappointing. I've never really made quick bread, but, as I said earlier, I wanted a way to use all of the leftover pulp (since we don't currently have a garden to put it in as compost), so I searched for close to an hour for a recipe that had ingredients I already had.
Yes, I know what you're thinking, I should have done this before going to the store....and well, I had. I had gone spelunking through the internets to find a variety of things I could do with all of this mush and it seemed like most of what I was missing was honey, so I did make sure to get that....but when I sat back at the computer, it was like all of those recipes decided to up and play an unscheduled game of hide and seek on me. Oh well, I'll just have to try again, maybe with a sandwich bread, flat bread or cracker recipe.
I guess the main point of this post, if you clicked on this hoping to find that perfect recipe, is to pay very close attention to what you've juiced (I did figure this would be an issue, but I thought I'd throw that worry to the wind on my first time around in order to test that very hypothesis) and what kind of recipe your using (ie, if it's supposed to be savory, sweet, salty, etc.) Hopefully soon I'll be able to tell you whether or not paying attention to all of that actually helps.
Happy Holidays!
