Kale Stir Fry

Things have got me in a place where I need to start making better choices for my health so I will begin with a Kale Stir Fry.

Today I am making a stir fry using:

1 bunch of kale - shredded
3 peppers (red, yellow, orange) - sliced
1 bunch of green onion (scallions) - chopped
2 cloves of garlic - minced
Coconut oil

In a skillet add 2 tbsp of coconut oil, and saute the scallions in the skillet. Next, add the kale and allow it to cook down while stirring frequently. Add the peppers and garlic and continue to stir while the peppers are cooking down (becoming soft). Once all this has been done, remove the skillet from the heat and serve. I will post a pic after it has been cooked!

You can also add scrambled eggs to make this more of a breakfast meal too! cook scrambled eggs and mix with some of the stir fry you just made.

Cinnamon Apple Oats & Honey

Do you ever have too many apples that you just have no cotton pickin' idea what you are going to do with them? It's not like you are in the mood to pick one up and take a bite out of it. What do you do? I figured it out! My mom has given me a recipe from my Mamaw for rhubarb strawberry crisp, don't get too excited just yet. That recipe will be for later, let's take care of our apples for now.

It's so good your lips will SMACK you!

Apples in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes

What you will need:
6 Cups of sliced Apples keep in mind the more you have the more of the other ingredients you will need as well!

4 TBSP Cinnamon
2 Cups of Oats
2 TBSP Butter
5 TBSP Honey

Don't turn the oven on just yet or it will get too hot in the kitchen. Slice the apples, I used a tool to slice apples with one movement and also cores the apple too! While slicing the apples, put them aside in a bowl. In a separate bowl add cinnamon, apple spice, and oats.  After the apples have been sliced and cored, turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Put butter in a skillet and turn the heat on to medium to high, add apples (You want a LARGE Skillet so you can turn the apples and coat with the butter). While mixing the apples in the skillet, you will add just a 3 tbsp of the oats and cinnamon. Continue to cook on the stove for 10 minutes until the apples begin to get soft and break down, but not too soft. Then add the apples to a baking pan, add the honey and rest of the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients well and bake for 25 minutes! Take out of the oven and enjoy!
