Happening now......(in Northern Vermont)









Northern Vermont is POPPING with color right now, and with all due respect NYC, I am so glad we are still in here to witness natures magnificent beauty and bounty! Collecting leaves has become a favorite thing to do on our walks now, and the purple kale and green swiss chard from the garden is crazy delish!

Here is one of my favorite ways to prepare these dark leafys in less than 10 mins! :)))

Easy-Peasy Greens
(4 small portions or 2 large)

2 large bunches of greens: kale, swiss chard, mustard greens, collard greens are all good, or mix them up! :)
1 Tbsp of coconut oil for cooking
1 hefty dash of of balsamic vinegar or if you have fresh lemon juice on hand use that!
1 hefty dash of wheat-free Tamari (similar to soy sauce or Braggs)
Handful of dried cranberries (for a little sweet/tang and color kick, but optional)

Wash and chop up your greens. Heat coconut oil till melted in a wok then add greens. Stir often as they will cook and reduce fast! As they cook add your dashes. Cut the heat before the greens get too cooked (should still be bright green and vibrant) and then add your cranberries. Serve immediately and enjoy fully! :)

  2. As someone who also improvises in the kitchen a lot I like that you're pushing yourself write out your recipes. It's a fun challenge to put into words what is usually an intuitive process. One reminder- when you're telling people to cook something on the stove-top don't forget to tell them how high to set the heat (medium-low, high, etc.). You can usually guess, but if someone isn't an experienced cook they might not be sure.

    Kudos on a cool project!
