Kale + Potato

Not much of a Kale person? Maybe never even tried Kale?

This leafy supergreen is full of Vitamin C and is a favorite among health foodies --- including me! When I bite into the earthy, bitter, and slightly peppery bite of raw or cooked kale, I wonder why it has not hit the markets and trendy cafes sooner.

Curious to try it? Next time you make a trip to the grocery store, scan the produce section and grab a bundle or two of kale :) Then play around in the kitchen to discover what you can make!

I decided to pair Kale with Potatoes because. . . who doesn't like potatoes?

I do not have a recipe on hand but if I remember correctly, here's how I created this:

1.) Basically, I cooked the kale in a frying pan with a spoonful of water and a drizzle of soysauce to 

        wilt it down.

2.) Then I added sliced red bell peppers until slightly charred and caramelized.

3.) After turning off the heat, I added sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds for taste.

Did I add chili flakes? Hmmmm....

As for the potatoes. . . . . . . 

I shredded the potatoes by hand. 

Pre-shredded potatoes can save time, but I opted to make an extra effort for real, fresh potatoes :)

1.) Fry the shredded potatoes.

2.) Add salt and pepper to taste.

Yay! Kale + Potato, what a wonderful treat, especially during colder seasons! 

I think I ate this for dinner when I spontaneously made it, and my oh my was it delicious and hearty~

Kale does not have to be limited to salads.

I've made a Cantalope Orange Juice Kale Smoothie, a recipe I discovered on KaleSmoothieRecipes,  before attending my yoga class and it tasted so refreshing and healthy :) 

Very appropriate to starting one's morning!

Seriously, take out that Magic Bullet resting in the cupboard and make a Kale smoothie! Soon you might find yourself with a temporary Kale obsession ;)
