One of my favorite comfort foods is a big kale salad. Even when I am sick and can't eat them, I crave them. There is something so comfy about kale! To this one I added cherry tomatoes, olives, avocado and raw pickles. YES, pickles in my salad, NO I am not pregnant! :)
One night, earlier in the week, for dinner I had a Masala Veggie Burger from Trader Joes topped with avocado, stone ground mustard, and a raw pickles. I used a big cabbage leaf to wrap it in. On the side are some butternut squash fries. I just baked them with some pepper, curry powder, and Himalayan sea salt in the oven for 45 min. They were delicious!
This green juice was so simple and delicate that I couldn't resist drinking it from a martini glass. I juiced romaine, pear and lemon. Decadent!
Another kale salad this time I added lemon juice, some Brad's raw chips and olives.
It has been pretty cold here lately. So for dinner last night I made a big veggie soup. The soup had carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bok choy and rice pasta in it. Perfect cozy warm meal for a cold bitter night.
That's all for now! Check out the giveaway going on at Pure2Raw! Have a nice day all!

Oh I love those masala burgers from TJ's, so good. I've never tried a kale salad before, not quite sure what I'm waiting for, they look amazing. I prob would skip the pickles though ;)

Just found your blog! I used to love pickles (and will probably be the worst pregnant woman ever- craving crazy combinations... of pickles and chocolate).
Kale is delicious! I love it "sauteed" with a dash of cold-pressed evoo, garlic and veggie broth.
I just bought it to juice! yum!
so glad I found you!
I just started my blog at diaryofanutritionist.com
Hooray for Raw-Til-Dinner! Here's hoping you keep feeling better and better.
Doesn't everything taste better out of a martini glass? [You do know that I was the mason jar gal until you came along and enlightened me, right? True!]
Kale brings me back to my favorite lunch place in Vermont where they always had the most delicious, perfectly steamed kale in the buffet case. I really need to recreate it at home soon!

I like pickled beets and olives in salad, so pickles kind of make sense.
