Garlicky Kale

This recipe is great for all those who look for a nutritious side dish that is quick and easy to make.

I really like using wok for this recipe. It's higher walls can accommodate the volume of fresh kale better than regular pan but if you don't have one on hand, no worries.

1 bunch of kale greens
6 cloves of garlic (crushed)
3 medium size mushrooms (sliced, optional)
pinch of salt and pepper
1 TBS olive oil

1. Heat olive oil on non-stick pan or wok.
2. Sautee mushrooms for about 5 minutes.
3. Add garlic, sautee 1 more minute.
4. Chop the kale. The easiest way is to cut along the stem on both sides. Discard
the stem and cut the leaves to bite size pieces. Add chopped kale to the pan.
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (Don't over do it. You can always add more later)
6. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes until kale reaches desired firmness.

NOTE: If you are not a mushroom fan, skip them and start at step 3.

Very Berry Crab Salad

6 oz crab meat(preferably fresh cooked, but can use canned if fresh if not available)
Handful of berries (mix of sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 head of green or red lettuce lettuce (leaves washed, cut into bite size pieces)
Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Olive Oil + Balsamic Vinegar for dressing

- Arrange crab meat in the middle of a plate.
- Place berries around the crab meat.
- Finish by spreading salad in a circle around the berries.
- Sprinkle with cheese if desired.
- Dress with Oil and vinegar (I really like using small sprayer bottle for this purpose as it provides even coverage and uses way less calories)

Enjoy!
