Hey All!!!
So here is a great way to get more greens into you diet. mmm... "greens, greens, and nothin' but greens."

Sharon's Deliciously Awesome Dinosaur Delight

1 bunch of Dinosaur Kale (also known as red kale), washed and ripped into medium sized pieces
1/2 box of mushrooms (any kind will do - mushrooms are amazing! read at the end of this recipe to see why)
1 shallot or half an onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, crushed or diced

1. Pour 1/2 tspn olive oil (or use olive oil spray) onto skillet. Heat oil, sweat onions. Add garlic.
2. Once onions begin to appear translucent add mushrooms. Saute together for about 5 minutes until mushrooms get soft and tender.
3. Here's the fun part while mushrooms and onions are cooking pick any 3 seasonings you like and sprinkle over the mixture. My favorite combination is yellow curry, cumin, and sage. Or try red pepper, basil, and oregano. Feel free to use a little salt and pepper but be careful with the salt as the mushrooms will soak it up really fast and get over salty. I actually prefer to add a little umeboshi vinegar to the mushrooms instead of salt (but be careful here too - this stuff is really strong and salty if you get too much)
4. Add Dinosaur Kale on top of the mixture. Cover the mix while the kale cooks down a bit. (the water left on the leaves after washing them should provide enough moisture for them to steam down but if not feel free to add a tablespoon of water to get some steam going).
5. Stir and Serve.

Mmm, Mmm, Delish! Serve with some red quinoa on the side and not only do you have a tasty veggie filled meal but you get all the protein you need (quinoa contains all 10 essential amino acids, whole grain + protein= love) in one beautifully colorful plate.
