If you have too much kale after making your kale recipes- you can blanch it. You know- boil a big pot of water,submerge chopped kale in veggie steamer basket for 2 minutes, take kale and basket and put in bowl of ice water, squeeze. You can freeze it then or put in saver-ware with some A+ vietnamese fish sauce and heat up later. Great base for other great food. A lot of kale cooks down to a very small amount this way and you can eat it all.

I have to get back into Mustard Greens. Been hitting the Baby Spinach pretty hard lately because of the ease of making a salad with it. I've had homemade soup every night for the last week so tonight it's off the wagon with a steak.

one lb of frozen fish (I used Tilpia- on sale for $4)8 redskin potatoeschopped onionchopped celery"matchstick" carrotspeaslemonone bunch of parsleybottle of clam juice

xp yeah that loose-leaf baby spinach is just so easy. and delicious.

I prefer the more flavorful adult spinach, but not raw. I rip the ribs out and cook it down in a pan with sliced garlic and (gasp) a little butter. Salt, pepper, lemon. Could eat five days a week. The only problem is that an entire bag of spinach barely serves two adults for one meal.

discovered today that whole foods sells those giant things of baby spinach $2 cheaper than the other grocery stores. starting to think i need to shop at wf more often bc a few weeks ago i discovered their kale is also cheaper!

i make these smoothies that are basically just a ton of kale w/bananas, almond milk, OJ, organic frozen blueberries, organic frozen strawberries, and a little bit of almond butter. pretty epic.

had to drop out of the lunch co-op. as much as i maintained my commitment to cooking healthy dishes to share, there were too many pastas, cheese, and wheat items from others. i felt so bloated. back to spinach salads. i feel better already! but i'm kind of annoyed with myself that i fell so far off the wagon O_o did not gain any weight, but i just felt gross.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 20 October 2010 00:26 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i've been creeping back onto secret cheese and pasta lately and it doesn't leave one feeling particularly good afterwards..

i was ready to bail, but i think the tipping point was when i asked a coworker what was in the enchiladas he brought and he revealed he didn't know because he hadn't actually made them. this week, he brought pizza.

OK I fell off after inheriting panini-maker but that now firmly past. Steamed then iced yellow beets, kale, zucchini (in that order of time steaming). Squoze in strainer til it looked like a flower when opened. Viet fish sauce and the A+ BELA portguese sardines now available at local WF and on sale 3 for $5, highly recommended. A+ and thanx for the inspiration.
― soviet, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 00:47 (fourteen years ago) link
picked up some of those sardines on your rec. curious to try them. they were 2/$4 here and they only had lemon or marinara ones left, no plain, but i figure lemon will be ok. and my wf finally has wild planet sardines!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 02:57 (fourteen years ago) link
The lemon BELA sardines work good on some sauteed or blanched greens with a bit of the lemony oil drizzled + pepper. No additional dressing for the greenz needed. I got every kind b/c I didn't want to empty the shelves of the basic in case some other sardinian came shopping.
Supposedly those sardines are tinned within 8 hours, not flash-frozen so less fishy. I usually like brislings,these are big and minus heads/tails but A+ IMO.

like srsly the worst
I am still NN-ing it up, but due to some crazy vacationing and being in weddings and stuff I feel as though I have become more lax. Also, it's fucking cold out and having a smoothie in the morning no longer sounds appealing. It may be oatmeal time!
― homosexual II, Monday, 15 November 2010 15:23 (thirteen years ago) link
the beet smoothie was definitely purple. beets seem to overpower whatever other gross color is in anything. it tasted ok, a little too much earthy beet taste but i would do it again. it also had strawberries, blueberries, and half an apple in addition to the kale.
― john water (harbl), Monday, 15 November 2010 23:48 (thirteen years ago) link
this is good to know! i made a spinach and berry one once that was definitely more greenish brown than purple.
i have also been bad. better now that i'm not doing lunch co-op anymore, but still not back to my strict old ways :(
― tehresa, Tuesday, 16 November 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
jesus i have been eating poorly lately.
tonight, tho:
-tempeh, shiitake, and broccoli sauteed in toasted sesame oil (strong!) and soy sauce, splashed with stock, few shots of sriracha, dusting of black sesame seeds, and served over braised and shocked kale

let's ramp up the nazi-ism! RESIST HOLIDAY EATING EVERYONE
I went my NN kick slightly for two months and gained four pounds, but after two weeks of nazi-ism THEY ARE GONE. THE POWER OF NUTRITION!
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 23:29 (thirteen years ago) link
I went OFF my NN kick, I meant to say.
Not completely, but I indulged in some truffle aioli fries one too many times :(
Tonight I am preparing my first meal in the OMG VITA-MIX.
Dunno if it fully qualifies for NN but it involves roasted butternut squash and sweet potato, half an orange, some coconut milk, and red curry paste. Oh and I can chuck in some cilantro, too.
But hey VITA-MIX!
― quincie, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 00:00 (thirteen years ago) link
sounds pretty NN to me!
how much did that V-Mix set you back? Arent they like 400 bucks? I sooooo want one but I am settling for a new Kitchenaid for x-mas.

Quincie, I too am cooking with butternut squash and sweet potato tonight! But no Vitamix. Still, nice that DC will be fragrant with squash-like cookery.
― ljubljana, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 00:45 (thirteen years ago) link
OK so I didn't really thin out my mixture to soup consistency so what I ate was pretty much butternut squash sweet potato curry baby food but it was damn good!
Mandy the VM was like o_O expensive even when scored at discount on ebay, but I had really mulled over it for a while and decided to go for it. I do not spend much on music or clothes or going out, etc., but splurge on big-ticket cooking items. Love my Kitchenaid, and I'm sure you will, too!
― quincie, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Tomorrow a.m. I am going to chuck some celery and carrot and pineapple and ice in the machine and see what happens. That's pretty damn NN iirc.
