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.

Orange Bundt Cake

This week I went to lunch in Rancho Santa Fe at an adorable cafe named Thyme. Thyme specializes in fresh salads, soups, and other light fare. The thing that got me most excited was their bakery. They have a beautiful bakers rack filled with gorgeous homemade delights just like your Grandma would make. The bakers rack was filled with rustic pies, and cakes. One cake that caught my eye was an Orange Bundt Cake. I have an orange tree so I was inspired to come home and try to make it. I went to the internet in search of a recipe, and discovered one from all recipes.com that I altered a bit. Here it is.
