Kale and Cabbage 7 Ways

March 30, 2020 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

bowl of cooked kale and cabbage topped with sriracha sauce

I cooked up a big pot of basic kale and cabbage, then heated it up through the week with different additions for variety. My Taster appreciated the mild flavor of the cabbage. I like the cook-ahead aspect and how healthy this is, with no added fat and loads of fiber and phytonutrients. The basic kale […]

Nomelets are not omelets, but they can play one at breakfast, brunch, or a casual dinner. Make easy pancakes from chickpea flour and wrap around your favorite filling. The result has the toothsome tenderness of an omelet without any cholesterol or disturbing uncooked gooey parts. It’s gluten-free too. My classic recipe calls for a filling […]

piece of cashew and kale strata

I’ve finally created a luxurious layered casserole that takes the place of lasagna for my cool-weather feasts and special comfort-food meals. It freezes well, so don’t hesitate to make it just for yourself and then freeze most of it to enjoy later. It’s creamy, rich, and yet still remarkably low in calories and fat. Even […]

Some kitchen workers must not know how to wash kale or other greens. All too often when I eat out, I bite down on unexpected grittiness in the greens. Yet it’s easy to get greens clean if you use a wash tub and a little patience. Save time and water by choosing easy-to-clean greens. Practicing […]
