Kale Cravings

I never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would make this statement: “I love kale”. But I do. I love it. No – I ADORE it! It has a subtle flavor that is extremely versatile, and I am addicted to the texture. Not too soft with a nice crunchy bite. Mmmmm.

Thanks to OSG and her dinner the other night I have been dealing with my cravings for kale and mushrooms. After a 3 mile run today, I hurried home to make the best lunch ever! Well, at least for this week, 😉

This meal was very simple to make, yet it looks so elegant.

I put a few tablespoons of EVOO in a skillet, added 1/4 cup of yellow onion and 5, quartered button mushrooms. I seasoned with chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. After they sautéed for a few minutes, I added my rinsed kale with a few tablespoons of water, a few tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of minced fresh garlic. A little more salt and pepper, put the lid on and let steam for a good 8 minutes.

I already had pre-cooked brown rice in the fridge. I heated about 3/4 of a cup with some salt and pepper. Top the rice with the kale and mushrooms and enjoy!

For dessert: crunchy, green grapes.

Of course J had to help me eat them, as well. =)

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
