Even though I love eating paleo/primal, there are times when you really just want something pastry-like, all cheesy and flaky.  Luckily for me, M. Dig is a genius in the kitchen and created this recipe that lets you get your pastry fix while sneaking in all the benefits of yummy kale.  It’s also a perfect recipe for paleo kids, reluctant spouses, and non-paleo guests (perhaps they won’t be non-paleo for long!).
