This evening I made a batch of my beloved Savoy Cabbage-Tomato-Almond Butter Chopped Salad and decided to make a kissing cousin with Kale. And between the two of them, I gorged my fill, with nothing but a fork as a side dish. No chips, no Ezekiel bread, just the two salads, a big bowl of [...]
Upon recently making my first trip to Whole Foods in Tampa (oof — the bill!)

It had been ages since I”d come across any on my shopping forays [...]
If you’re a lover of savory fruit salads, here’s a good one, sweet with juicy pineapple, chewy with finely chopped kale, and pungent with both garlic and fresh ginger. A bit of fresh orange juice… and raw macadamia nuts to make a dense, almost mayonnaise-texture dressing… and this becomes an extremely versatile dish. You can [...]

This salad is made with mineral-rich alkalizing kale, it’s doused in garlic (famed for ages for being able to knock pretty much anything unwanted out of your system) and finished off with [...]
This Live Green Smoothie is exactly what I love so much about these delicious drinks — it’s simple, basic, and with the end product being so completely different from what you’d expect from the ingredients involved. It’s not too sweet, but “just right”. It’s not too green, but “just right”. It’s the very essence of [...]
Sometimes ya just want a bowl of greens without much fuss, and here’s one way to do’em up. This salad has the explosive flavors of lemon and fresh garlic in a traditional Greek dressing with oregano and cold-pressed olive oil, a flavor combination used in many Greek dishes.
