My mother moved closer to me, an hour away instead of twelve hours. Little Monkey and I went to visit today. Amy and LilyPad are at a Lutheran Youth Gathering for the weekend.
For lunch we had wilted kale and spinach over Barilla pasta with a few raw baby carrots for color. Barilla brand pasta has protein and Omega 3 and 6 in it.
To Wilt Kale, simply heat a couple tsp Olive Oil in a pot, add a shake of garlic powder and a bit of sea salt. Use your hands to pull off the leafy part of the kale. (Mama kept the stems to cut up small and put into stock later.) Put kale and spinach in pot, and cook over medium about 3 minutes, just until wilted.
Dinner was easy. Steam in bag brocolli, cauliflower, and baby carrots. With a drizzle of Ranch dressing, half a Gala apple (with skin), and a small handful pine nuts.
Juice.....
I juiced a pomegranite in the blender, then strained out the seeds with a metal strainer. In batches I blended a small seedless watermelon and 6 satsumas. Mixed all the juice together and have been drinking it all day.
I am so very thankful and happy to have my mother near again! Little Monkey was saying "MamMa" and signing "Grandma" all day. Great company, great food, beautiful weather....all in all a Blessed Day!
