Back to Basics

What's fresh, dark, and firm? This post is ALL about the greens baby!! Today i woke up with heaviness and after a good cry i felt like i needed to inject myself with everything pleasant. Pleasant music, pleasant dancing, pleasant thoughts, pleasant foods. Pleasant music. Check! Pleasant food. Check! I have yet to arrive on the dance floor and then of course when i do, all thoughts will cease and eventually will become laced with aligned intention once the dance subsides and the thoughts return. SO onto the food. I wanted to write this post to share with you all what my greens told me as i was washing them. Yes i said it. Food speaks to me and that is why we have good relations. Anyway, as i was washing my kale, feeling heavy and sad, it said "be gentle with me, massage me softly, and hey, smile while you're at it." Midway into making my super raw kale i felt a shift -a very clear shift. As i massaged my kale and added my spices and watched it soften between my fingers, i also began to feel lighter, softer, and more pleasant. I was smiling before i had finished my dish. I was even humming.<<>> Now some may be thinking how the heck is kale pleasant? Yes i am aware that it doesn't fulfill the 'comfort food' requirement, which is what i want to feel right? But really folks, who really feels comforting after eating 'comfort foods'? The kale also told me that i need to be consuming it every day. Hmmm. I wonder how many different ways i can dress these sharp greens up? Today was your regular 'garden salad' kale dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, fresh garlic, cayenne, Himalayan pink salt, turmeric, and a little nutritional yeast. Kale is a super food low in saturated fat and cholesterol. It's packed with nutrition some of which include fiber, protein, folate, iron, magnesium,phosphorus, vitamin A, C, K, and B6, Calcium, Potassium, Copper, and Manganese. One food. Multiple medicinal use. This alkaline goodness is going to save me, somehow. So basically if you eat this everyday for at least 3 consecutive months, you'll be treating yourself to an A-List of nutritional luv'n. And this people is why i need to make my living making spanking good food for you. It's my pleasure to serve you. You in turn are receiving that pleasure. And all is right with the world!
