After publishing my Superfood Post, I was inspired to find new and exciting recipes that showcased some of the nutrient rich staples that I wrote about. From quinoa stuffed peppers to Spirulina salad dressings, I found myself feeling like a kid in a candy store! My euphoric state was quickly replaced however, when I remembered that I would be cooking these dishes for my "double bacon cheeseburger loving" husband ;).
Since my husband would rather dine on a succulent steak than a satisfying superfood, I needed to tread lightly around my nutrient rich meal choice. Having been a fan of Hungry Girl for years and taking note of her ability to disguise "good food" as "bad," I figured I would check out her take on Kale**. Sure enough, a revamped recipe that swapped a full fat creamed spinach dish for a lighter "creamed" Kale side had been published.
With only a few simple ingredient and an easy preparation schedule, I whipped up the Kale recipe as a companion to my pumpkin seed crusted baked tilapia. Let's just say my husband wasn't missing his McDonald's take out that night!
**Kale is a very popular super food as a serving has more vitamin C than an orange, more calcium than milk and 133% of a person's vitamin A requirement.
