Sauteed Kale with Dried Plums and Coconut

Sauteed Kale with Dried Plums and Coconut Anyone who knows me knows I love kale. Actually, love might not be stating my feelings for that particular cruciferous vegetable strongly enough. I love kale; I adore kale; I dream about kale; I need kale. Seriously—if I go more than a day or two without it, I don’t feel at all right. To me, every day can be made better by adding a little kale to it. Raw, blanched, sautéed, in a salad, on its own, with a dressing, in a soup, in a juice, curly, flat leaf, lacinato, dinosaur, purple, black, or green—it makes no difference to me: I love every kind of kale served in every kind of way. I have noticed lately, various athletes and nutritionists touting the health benefits of kale, and since I know first hand how good I feel when I eat it,I am not surprised. Recently, my mom clipped a recipe for me that combined kale, coconut, and dried plums, ultimately creating a tasty dish that I have made several times now, and hope to make again soon...

AB Crepes: 1311 Railroad Avenue

AB Crepes  The vegan crepe is made from chickpea flour and flax seed, and has a really yummy slightly sweet flavor. You can pick from a long list of ingredients of what you would like to go inside your crepe, and you can make it either sweet or savory. Vegan Mediterranean Crepe with Hummus I usually get a vegan version of the Mediterranean crepe, which has spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives. You can also add some hummus for me, which makes it kind of creamy. Delicious! Another version I like includes avocado, spinach, and mushroom. The creamy avocado flavor goes well with the slightly sweet crepe.
