Easy Kale Dish

I love love kale! It’s delicious, healthy, low in calories, and easy to cook! I eat these leafy greens every week and cook fairly quick. The photo shown is not the exact recipe I have listed here, but you can basically add any veggies you want together, and as much as you would like. Here is a simple recipe I usually use when cooking kale:

Ingredients:

2 cups kale

2 cups mushroom

2 cups spinach

1 cup tofu

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup of vegetable broth

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium sized pan in high-medium heat

2. Fry the tofu till they turn a light brown, occasionally flipping

3. Set tofu to the side, then saute the mushrooms

4. Add the tofu back in the pan

5. Add the kale and pour the vegetable broth, then stir

6. Cover for about 3-5 minutes until the kale shrinks and turns a dark green

7. Since spinach cook fairly quick, turn down the heat to medium-low and add the spinach till they start to slowly shrink

8. Serve with brown rice and enjoy!

Brussels Sprouts with Garlic I went to Trader Joe’s and saw a huge, tall stalk of Brussels Sprouts! If you know how to cook these round vegetables right… they are delicious!! The reason why they taste bitter is over cooking them, which was what I learned the first time making these. Earl and I decided to make dinner the other night and this is the recipe we came up with. It’s mouthwatering, tasty, and is going to last me for about three-four meals! Ingredients: A stalk of Brussels Sprouts (about two and a half dozen or so) 5 garlic cloves 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil Instructions: Rip off the Brussels Sprouts from the stalk Cut off any excess stems Cut the Brussels Sprouts into four pieces Firmly chop the garlic Heat olive oil in a large pan Pour in garlic and saute till they turn golden brown Pour in Brussels Sprouts and stir for about 4-5 minutes Eat with brown rice and enjoy!
