Dinner: Wilted Kale and Asian Chicken

Deciding what to cook day in and out can be a chore but I have decided to really let the spices do the talking.  Simple meals with lots of flavor are what I am trying to make now.  Quick, easy with lots of flavor.  Today I will be making this exact meal except for the meat.  Pictured here is shark steak seasoned with Asian spices.  Today I am making it with baked, Asian chicken instead. 

My most favorite thing on this plate is the wilted kale.  I use the same recipe whether it is for kale or chard.  It always turns out great and my child loves it!  She even asks for seconds when it comes to the vegetables. 

To make wilted greens all I do is first sauté onions and sweet peppers until they begin to sweat. I use either olive or coconut oil.  Then I put in the greens and strip as needed until they are wilted and they shrink down.  It is amazing how a large bag wilts down to just a few cups.  If there are a lot of stems which sometimes occurs with the plastic bags of kale, I may even add about 1/2 of water and let them simmer for about 15 minutes until they get tender.  I do let the water all simmer away because I want the wilted flavor of the greens to be there.  About 25 minutes later, a great wilted green dish. 

The rice is the jade pearl rice.  It is green because it is infused with bamboo juice.  So, the rice, wilted greens and Asian chicken....it's what's for dinner today! Happy eating!

Detox Drink

I have been trying the detox drink for the past 2 mornings.  I must say it works. The recipe is:

• 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons of raw honey
• 2 dashes of cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

I mix all in a cup then fill to the rim with water and then heat in the microwave and drink it like tea.  It does taste good.  It really does clean out the insides at it works it way through.  I do believe the claims that it will help clean out the colon of undigested debri and food. 

If you try this, stay close to the bathroom.  It the end it will make you feel better, your stomach will be flatter and it had benefits of  stabilizing blood sugar, lowering blood pressure and a few others.  I drank it for 3 days in a row so far.  I'm taking a break for the next 2 days.  I will then enjoy it again after that.  I think you have to work up to it being a daily drink. It is strong but it clearly works.

Savannah Bee Hand Creme

I lucked up and found the best hand crème that I have loved in quite some time.  I was at my local Earth Fare  store and they have an expansive selection of Savannah Bee products.  I have always know about the brand and  in the past the only thing I tried was a lip balm.  That was quite a few years ago and it was great. 

With the winter and me always cleaning, my hands have been just so rough recently.  Regular lotion several times a day was not doing the trick.  I saw the hand crème and decided to bite the bullet and buy it.  Pricey for me, it was $10.  I love it. Besides smelling great, it is creamy and is full of moisture.  The bees wax helps to seal in the moisture.  I have been using it for a week now and I can already tell a difference.  It is all natural and it hydrates! If you come across it, purchase!  You will not be disappointed!  My hands don't sound like sandpaper anymore!
