How to Prepare Kale and other Greens... Try this recipe for Kale tonight.

There are different types of kale and Dark leafy greens that I prepare often. I use the same technique for all of them. When shopping at the market buy which green that looks the best that day.
I went to my Whole Foods market today. I am lucky that they carry a wide verity of gorgeous greens grown locally.
They all looked so good that I bought five different types. I bought green kale, red russian kale, Rainbow swiss chard, Red swiss chard, and Collard greens. I use the same recipe for all of them.
While I was at Whole Foods I made a salad from their salad bar. I highly recommend it if you are there during a meal time.
Now for the easiest and best tasting kale recipe... First wash each leaf under cool running water, and chop off the end of the stems. Sometimes if the stem is thick and big I will remove it. Usually I just trim the ends off.
Once you have washed and trimmed the Kale, today I am using the Red russian kale and the green kale. Chop up the greens. Chop up fresh garlic, for this amount of kale I used five cloves of garlic. Have a handful or two of dried cranberries and good olive oil.
Heat your pan over medium-high heat, once hot add olive oil, then add the chopped kale. With kitchen tongs stir the kale until it starts to wilt, be careful not to let it brown or burn. This will take 4-5 minutes. Next add chopped garlic and cranberries, keep stirring so garlic heats through but does not brown 1-2 min. Finish with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
DELICIOUS!! I hope you try this recipe for Kale. Please let me know how you and your family likes it.

It's whats for dinner tonight!

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.

The Best Kitchen Tool!!

I Love this kitchen tool. I use mine for making smoothies to blending soups. I used to pull out my big blender for making smoothies, and it was such a pain. One day my blender broke and my sister said, why are you using a blender it is so much easier with a hand blender." She was right I never have replaced my blender, I use this hand blender for everything. Just put all your ingredients in a glass for a single serving ,or a pitcher for multiple servings, and blend away using the easy Smart Stick hand blender. My Green Smoothie recipe...even your kids will love 1 banana, cut into chunks 1 handful of frozen berries , your choice 1/12 cups of fresh spinach 1/2 cup of organic plain yogurt splash of water Place all ingredients in a glass and blend with your hand blender. Quick and easy. Experiment with different fruit combinations. Enjoy!
