KALEEE--HELP MEEEE

Obviously kale is everywhere right now! Awesome superfood, so good for you & super tastey. I sneak this sucker into everything I can, eat is for salads, make kale chips, everything. I've even started to have it in my dessert… I am currently hooked on Sally B.'s Cocoa Kale Munch Bars. Talk about heaven on earth! I could live off these things if you've never had them i sincerely recommend ordering some off her website http://www.sallybglutenfree.com. Or if you're lucky enough to live in West Chester I would check her out at the local artisan market--which is a whole mother posts, that place is a joy & puts a big fat smile on my face-----

Anyway, back to the KALE. So my problem is that these bars are getting to expensive for my sad budget. SO this week I am getting adventurous, stepping up to the plate & trying to make my own. I've been doing some recipe research & there are so many options, I have no idea which one to go with. I was REALLLYYY hoping someone could help a sista out and point me in the right direction….

Muchas gracias

Okay people Fall starts tomorrow, you know what that means?? -besides me getting to wear oversized sweaters, leggings, and sweet boots everyday-- IT MEANS ROASTED VEGGIES PEOPLE!

I freakin love roasted veggies, they're one of the simplest things to make & super delic. I could eat them for every single meal. & based on the amount that I bought from the market yesterday I think I'll have to.

Some of my favorite things to roast are

  • Zucchini- Any & all kinds
  • Spaghetti Squash- roast it up & use it in place of your pasta
  • Butternut Squash- nommmm nommmm nommmm
  • Potatoes- obvssss a classic
  • Carrots- OMGGGEEEE
  • Mushrooms- All kinds are welcomed
  • Asparagus- Oh babbyyy
  • Cauliflower- So yummy
All you have to do it toss in olive oil with some seasoning & garlic & put in the oven on 450. Different veggies have different cook times so keep your eyes out & mix occasionally.

Have fun, let me know what you think

Peaceee

Let Me See That Casarolllleeee

Happy Monday y'all!

If you're anything like me after class on Mondays I really just want to lay around & be a bum. So when it comes time for dinner I want to throw something together really quick, its a bonus if I'll have some leftovers too.

I know, some great photography.
















Check it out…

Mix together
2 large cans of green beans
1 tiny can of water chestnuts
--- diced so you don't have to do any dirty work
1 can cream of mushroom soup
--- I rock with Amy's Organic Cream of Mushroom
Toss in some flax seeds if you're into that kinda thing

Top it all of with some Onion Crispys to add a little crunch to it all.

350 for 30 minutes with tinfoil, remove tinfoil & cook for an additional 5.

You'll thank me later.

Peace outttt

Hey hey

I am Courtney & welcome to my blog, Healthy Nom Nomms. Here I will be sharing some of my favorite foods & recipes with you. Most of them happen to be veggies but occasionally I throw in some meat stuff when I'm feeling extra wild. There will also be posts of me trying out some food that is foreign to me. You will get to see my successes & failures, IF I mess up or you know a better/easier/cooler way of doing something, help a sister out, and give me some tips. You might also get a glimpse into some other aspects of my life, how my day is going, what songs I'm jamming to as I cook, or whatever random thoughts pop into my brain.

Thanks for stopping bye & until next time peace out
