What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

Tuesday:

B: veggie/sausage frittata, 1/2 apple
L: bone broth with arm roast, a bit of pulled chicken (from neck bones - much better than I thought it would be), veggies
S: macadamia nuts, dried unsweetened dark cherries
45 minute easy trainer session
D: 1 egg + 1 yolk poached in chicken bone broth with spices, roasted kale and parsnips.

How do you roast your kale? I've never done it; I usually just saute it with bacon and some garlic. Not that I'm tired of bacon and garlic, but...

Also, roasted parsnips (and other root veg, but not potatoes) and cauliflower with a nutmeg+apple cider glaze is fantastic. Good with pork, if you eat it. or chicken. (And I did a maple-mustard glazed version earlier this year. Sooooo good.) Anyway.

I found a decent recipe for making parsnip oven "frys". I no longer eat white potatoes and was curious how they would be, it was fine.

Roasted kale is easy, and my favorite kale for this purpose is Lacinto Kale (sometimes called 'Dino' kale because it looks like a reptile's skin). Actually I prefer Lacinto to other kales but any of them will do - I just slightly prefer the flavor of Lacinto Kale. Trader Joe's is currently selling already-cleaned packages of it for a good price

Rip the kale into whatever size you desire, toss with oil of your choice and a bit of sea salt and black pepper, and roast in a 350/400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Yummy! Make more than you THINK you will need for of course a lot of volume is lost in the cooking. Play with the roasting time as there is a fine line between done and a bit too-well-done
