First time cooking black rice

Check this out!

Gound beef, browned in no special way with no spices…grass-fed beef doesn’t need it!
Heirloom forbidden rice, I’m diggin’the black rice! It’s got kind of a sticky quinoa texture and a taste similar to Jasmine rice.  1c dry yields 3c cooked so this stuff will last!
Baby Bella Mushrooms sauteed in butter, grass -fed, of course 🙂
Lacinto kale sauteed in MCT oil, garlic, onions and potatoes.
I topped it off with broiled organic Roma tomatoes!

New leafy greens to experiment with!

I’m really excited to try new dark leafy greens this week! I’ve had good ole green kale before but not these bad boys!
From left to right, I’ve got Russian Kale, Red Kale & Lacinato Kale.

First up, Red Kale…with eggs!

…and burnt toast, ha!
Red Kale tasted just like Green Kale and stayed crunchy after being sauteed.

What I’ve learned about the health benefits of Kale is that they area loaded with antioxidants and Vitamins A, K & C. It also supports eye health and its fiber content helps regulate cholesterol levels.

So….eat more kale! Oh and throw a handful of it in your smoothie 😉
