2 Fabulous Ways To Enjoy Kale

So obviously from the title of this post you can tell that I am LOVING Kale.  It's a green veggie which means it has tons of Vitamin B and folate and is not as sugary as some other veggies like carrots and tomatoes.  There are so many ways to enjoy Kale and it doesn't take a lot of work.  You can saute it or roast it in under 15 minutes!  

One of my favorite dishes at Beauty and Esssex a hot spot trendy restaurant located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan has a gluten-free menu and it is divine!  It's so creative and tasty.  My favorite salad dish there is a Kale salad.  They use this creamy dressing (gf of course!) and sliced green apples to compliment the bitterness of the Kale.  OMG it's so good.  So that got me thinking that I wanted to introduce Kale into my weekly home menu's.

I have eaten Kale as a side dish for dinner and as part of my breakfast.  YUM!!

Sauteed Kale with Feta (cook uncovered)
Copyright©2012 Recipes By Julie Rosenthal.  All Rights Reserved.

In a saucepan over low to medium heat add 2 tablespoons of oil mixture (see below)
2 tbsp Olive oil or 1 1/2 tbsp. Olive Oil+1/2 tsp. Truffle Oil
salt and pepper to taste or garlic salt-but use very little
Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes and then add 2 tsp. crumbled feta cheese.  If you can help it crumble the feta out of the clumps and pour into kale mixture.  
Cook again for a minute or two stirring constantly or until feta has melted into the Kale.
Serve hot.

You can take the above recipe as is or serve it with eggs and beets on top.

I used that as a bed then I added a dollop of Fage Greek yogurt and piled on 2 hearty sunny side up eggs and sandwiched it with a few canned beets.  And I almost forgot!  I added a sprinkle of dried dill leaves atop of the Greek yogurt.  Fresh dill would have been even better.  It's definitely a favorite breakfast of mine and it's so healthy.



Roasted Kale with Truffle Oil

Another great way to make Kale is roasted in the oven.  I simply pour the bag of Kale in a bowl (washed of course) and add a little bit of olive oil+ truffle oil, pepper and garlic salt to taste.  I mix it well and put it on a cookie tray lined in foil with Pam spray.  Pop that in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or 420 degrees at about 10 minutes give or take depending on your oven.
I love when it comes out crunchy!  Serve that in a bowl hot or luke warm and it almost tastes like a crunchy kale chip.


Enjoy! xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain. A lot of my readers often describe how tough it is to drink black coffee without sweetener, so this one is for you guys!!   This recipe is a total Brain Trick.  It tastes sweet and chocolaty, so you think there is swee

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
