Kale with Grapes and Capers
I enjoy eating kale, especially in a salad. I decided to cook it this time and add a sweet and savory component to the dish. The capers and grapes give this dish a delicious flavor- one almost forgets how healthy this green is!
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, sliced
- 3 to 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, smashed and drained
- 1 cup red grapes, chopped
- 4 to 5 cups kale, washed and chopped
- Salt
Heat a frying pan with the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and sauté on simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the capers and grapes. Saute for another minute and add the kale. Cook on high heat for 2 minutes while stirring. Lower heat to simmer and cover for 10 minutes. Take lid off and add salt if necessary.
Healthy Snack: Fruit and Yogurt Parfait
This is a great snack and I am still eating it. I posted this back in September and thought I needed to repost it since it so healthy and delicious. If you missed it last time- here it is again. I changed it a bit in keeping with the seasonal fruits,etc.
I am sharing my new, healthy snack. I eat it everyday. Sometimes even for a meal.
If it’s a snack, then I don’t use as many fruits- but if it’s a meal- I make sure to add at least five to fulfill my daily fruit requirements. It is a delicious way to incorporate a bunch of healthy things I need to eat through the day.
I use the non-fat greek yogurt– it’s creamy like whipped cream and has a good amount of protein. I like to use wild blueberries– they are a super food, even better than the regular ones. I put them in frozen to achieve a nice crunch- and they are delicious. Besides the other fruits, I add walnuts– the best kind of nut to have. Fills you up and is good for you. Raw honey is very good for you as well. I add a tablespoon of it on top- it tastes like I am eating a big bowl of dessert. I also add flaxseed mixed with dried blueberries. I buy it from Trader Joes and love the taste of it. I sprinkle it right on top- it gives the snack a nice crunch.
I am absolutely loving this concoction. I look forward to it everyday and I am thrilled with how healthy it is. Definitely give it a try- I am sure you will enjoy it as well!
