What's New and Beneficial About Kale
from whfoods.com
Steamed Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability - just not as much.
Kale's risk-lowering benefits for cancer have recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer. These types include cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate. Kale is now recognized as providing comprehensive support for the body's detoxification system.
Wahoo.....DETOX without cayenne pepper, lemon juice and maple syrup!
Kale's flavonoids combine both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits in way that gives kale a leading dietary role with respect to avoidance of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
Good stuff huh!?
Here's some of the ways I like to add kale to my meals...
added to stir-fry w/ a ton of other veggies, lean chicken, and brown rice

or in pasta sauce

Aren't these bicycle noodles awesome!? Probably will make J and I bike faster.

Quick Convenient Chicken Stir-fry

The wedding was a success! Kelli (my sister) looked beautiful, Mike was handsome, the ceremony was breathtaking with Mike's cousin Laura singing, and the reception was a dance-a-thon! I will post pictures as soon as I have some and possibly my toast if I can figure that out.

J and I rolled back into town, grunted out his scheduled Ironman workout, opened up our fridge to figure out some dinner and saw.....nothing. This is very unusual. What were we to do!?

I reached for my new wok and whipped up a very easy and convenient stir fry!

the goods:

frozen stir-fry veggies (not pictures), sesame oil, Classic Stir-fry sauce, Uncle Ben's Brown Rice, and edamames for the side

I heated up the oil, added the chicken and cooked till about done, added frozen veggies, mixed in stir-fry sauce at the end, heated, and served over the brown rice

Simple and satisfying!

Until next time...

look good, feel good, do good
