Kale Chips

I love kale, and any variation of it, especially when it comes in chip form.

Pre heat oven to 350.

Put kale into a bowl, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper (or any other variety of seasoning) stir.



Put onto a cookie sheet and bake for about 20 mins.



And there you go, a tasty snack!

Switched up Breakfast

After eating steel cut oats everyday, I decided to throw a change up. I made a "quinoa pancake" topped with asparagus, green onion, and roasted red pepper, with a few spears of cheese. I cracked an egg, chopped up 2 slices of pepperoni and added cooked quinoa. The way it cooked looked just like a pancake so that's what I called it.  Topped it off with the veggies and it was dee-lish-us.Totaling  215 calories. Win win.

Steel Cut Oats

Are pretty much the best thing in the world. I eat them for breakfast practically everyday. I just can't get enough, and you can add almost any type of fruit into it. They keep me full for hours too, and I like that in a food. This is baby girl's and I breakfast the other morning. Of course the coffee is mine.

Quinoa Stuffed Mushrooms

I recently got a bag of quinoa from Costco, and we all know, like Texas, everything is bigger at Costco. My mushrooms were also from Costco so I had to do something with them.

I sautéed onion, garlic, and red peppers with salt, pepper and curry powder. While that was cooking, I hallowed out some 'shrooms with a melon baller and baked the water out of them. When that was done I added the quinoa to the mixture, and stuffed the mixture into the 'shrooms and had them as a side dish. I can't wait to make them again. (Please excuse the photo quality)
