Kale

-


Kale, is a really healthy vegetable that is really versatile to use. You can have it raw in your salad, in your sandwich in the place of lettuce, in your sautées, soups or whatever else. I tried it all of these ways; and honestly whether cooked or raw it tastes great to me. Kale is a much better option to use in the place of your lettuce in your sandwich because lettuce is not really doing anything to you… I mean yea, its better to use lettuce than to not use any at all because after all it  is a vegetable but. 

'The greener the vegetable the better it is for you'


Having a choice between lettuce and kale or something else like spinach. that would be the better choice in any situation. So remember this line above ' the greener the vegetable the better it is for you ' and try to incorporate that into your lifestyle. 

By adding fresh kale to your sandwich, it brings on a whole new flavor to your ordinary turkey sandwich or whatever sandwich you make and it adds loads of vitamins and nutrients that your body needs. The other day I made a breakfast sandwich with eggs and light cheese and I added in my kale just to be healthy and amazing enough it was delicious.


You can us it for your salads as well either cutting them up into small pieces and adding them into your spinach or lettuce salad or eating them in the place of the lettuce or spinach all together along with carrot, cucumber, tomato and everything else with your salad. Will add a new type of experience with your salad. 

Another option was slightly cooking it in with my chicken, fish, beef...


Heres a heart healthy idea. I just sautéed a few pieces of chicken in a pan the other day just felt like making some sort of grilled chicken the other day to go along with my rice and I had some kale in the fridge. I bought ruffled red kale, they sell it in green as well (it's a fresh vegetable) so I chopped it up and just added it to my pot of chicken and just mixed it around for about a minute or two and vuala…. my colorful, healthy, chicken dish...


From my kitchen to yours
God Bless

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk.
