monday's lunch made by moi
how to make a yummy, basic meal of steamed kale and brown rice the kimberly way:
1. bag of brown rice, heat in microwave 90 seconds. i know, i know but it's baby steps with me.
2. add 2 inches of water to a bowl, sprinkle montreal steak seasoning and lemon over kale, place small kale bunches on top of water, and cover with paper towel. microwave 2-3 minutes until tender. {confession: i consulted this website for the how-to}
voila! i was most proud of myself despite this being quite elementary.
considering kale is a superfood and we all need a few more greens in our life, why not give this a whirl? it's filling, tasty {especially as kale chips}, and oh-so-colorful. bisous. x

Congrats on your kitchen achievement Kimberly! Have you read The 4 Hour Chef? It's the best beginners guide to cooking I've found. I also love SporkOnline.com, they have hours of online vegan cooking classes that make it really easy to learn new techniques. xoxo!
meg: i haven't perused that book or website yet, thanks for the tips. it's all about super duper baby steps for me! appreciate the resources x
Some of my favorite baby steps in the kitchen are buying pre-minced garlic and pre-minced ginger, as well as bottles of lemon juice and lime juice instead of squeezing my own. Also the frozen organic vegetable mixes at Whole Foods take care of all the chopping and prepping to make it much less overwhelming :) Good luck with your kitchen experiments!
