Looks absolutely delicious! Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is kale and not the romaine lettuce you said you'd use on Wed. right?
ha! Yeah you right Amarie.
She changed her mind. Said she wanted to use the kale before she picked the Romaine.
It was good. The cucumbers had kind of a pickled flavor to them. And they were kind of cool. And the day was hot. So it matched up really well.
I felt really good after I ate it.
Which is becoming more important to me about what I eat. It makes sense to eat foods that make me feel good.
Digests easily. Plenty of energy. Wasn't hungry 2 hours later.
My stomach was empty. But I was satisfied.
Know what I mean?
Food truly is the best medicine. A steady diet of living nutrient rich food can help a brother not need ... eh um ... "the care" ... of a Plantation MD.
Read some interesting stuff on Kale:
"Kale absolutely rich and abundant in calcium, lutein, iron, and Vitamins A, C, and K. Kale has seven times the beta-carotene of broccoli and ten times more lutein.
Kale is rich in Vitamin C not to mention the much needed fiber so lacking in the daily diet of processed food eating Americans.
The "Icing on the Kale" are the natural occurring all important phytochemicals sulforaphane and indoles which research suggests may protect against cancer.
Let's not forget the all important antioxidant Vitamin E. Rest assured kale spares nothing in providing one with much needed nutrients and associated health benefits.
The naturally rich sulfur content of kale deserves a bit more discussion. Science has discovered that sulforaphane, helps boost the body's detoxification enzymes, possibly by altering gene expression.
This is turn is purported to help clear carcinogenic substances in a timely manner. Sulforaphane is formed when cruciferous vegetables like kale are chopped or chewed.
This somehow triggers the liver to produce enzymes that detoxify cancer causing chemicals, of which we all are exposed on daily basis. A recently new study in the Journal of Nutrition (2004) demonstrates that sulforaphane helps stop breast cancer cell proliferation."
Appreciate it.
Dag...that does look good. I crushed a bowl of roasted garlic hummus and homemade salsa for lunch (red, pablano and serrano peppers, garlic, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, cucumber and sea salt)...I know what you mean about feeling good after eating. I can eat something like that for lunch around one, blueberry juice and a banana for breakfast around nine...I'm good pretty much all day...plus the Chia seeds, man.
^^ Get 'em D!^^
That's what I'm talking 'bout!
Shit.
Brothers gonna work it out.
Dropping dead of heart disease and diabetes is played out.
Fuggin' with that Plantation MD drug / surgery quackery is played out.
Chia a beast aint it?
Most definitely...brought some to work and of course n!ggas wanted to clown talking about "he over here eatin' birdseed...". Did a little research and showed it to 'em...got three people swearing by them seeds now. Each one/teach one, you know how it goes.
*clapping hands in excitement!*
this looks so delish! I eat kale and collards this way...sooooo goooood....folk wanna know why my skin is so smooth and blemish free...I tell 'em it's not what I rub on the outside, it's what I place on the inside that does the trick!
Get it Mrs DV!
I assume the kale is slightly cooked to help soften the texture, since it is a "hearty" green like collards?
Just wanna know b/c that looks FABULOUS.
herside....
i actually use a marinade of olive oil, lemon juice and herbs of choice to tenderize my greens...not sure what Mrs DV uses.
tgn
Sista Nurse!!
You hit it on the head.
I just talked to her and she said she does it exactly like you said: marinade of olive oil, lemon juice and herbs. She said she 'massages' them too to tender them up a little bit.
Her Side you should throw one together. See if you like it.
Mike Tyson's gone vegan. (But he still races pigeons tho')
DV, you ain't said nuttin' but a word. LOL I love kale, but I always have the "old southern" preparation - cooked down with a ham hock or smoked turkey. I won't hesitate one second to try this awesome green in a raw salad preparation.
I thank you and the good nurse for the marinating tip!
A footnote to the good nurse:
I too wonder why folks believe good skin comes from a chemical in a bottle. When my skin looks like crap, I know it has nothing to do with an absence of harmful creams. I know for sure I put all the wrong stuff in my mouth and it is seeping from the largest organ of my body - the skin!
I can see right away when I have missed my motherly duty re: vegetables. My 16-year old shows the signs in his skin right away (coloration). My 10-year shows it with fine bumps and colds.
I'm pretty sure we'll all glow like angels after my next grocery trip. As a single mother, I often drop the ball with the family menu. I have a whole 'nutha plan for the next trip. I thank this blog for the constant reminder to stay on top of this game. What better gift can I give to my children than love, nourishment, and life? (Mind, body, and soul).
Rock on, DV.
i dig this site like crazy, i check it daily (u even permanently posted my words on the side and er'thing) however ur passion for lil wayne throws me completely off:/ n for as much healthy food as u promote all this guy talks about is stuffing poison in his nose n mouth...i know ur as close to perfect as it gets n we couldnt ask for a better website but weezy; "the greatest rapper alive" sure doesnt say much for living rappers:/
