Kale!!

I'm not going to lie... I was terrified of Kale. I picked some up at the recommendation of my awesome internet friend, Keri, over at www.ieattrees.com

I stared at it for a minute and put it in the fridge trying to think of what in the world I could do with it. I turned to my very best friend, google, and found a couple of doable options. I threw a handful into my daily smoothie and found that the taste didn't linger much at all, unlike spinach and the other greens I've tried. Then I decided that I'd be really brave and saute some! I browned onion in a couple tablespoons of olive oil and let that simmer for awhile with rosemary, thyme, and caraway seed. I tossed the Kale in for about 7 minutes until it was nice and tender and put it over some mashed cauliflower, drizzled a tiny bit of olive oil on top, salt and peppered and chowed down. It was SO good! Kale just might become one of my favorite greens of all time! :)

Dinner tonight was just left over spaghetti from last night. It's even better the second time around!

Thought of the Day.

If something is bothering you, stop bitching and moaning and do something about it!
