Move Over Kale, Arugula is Here!

(Not really, KALE WILL ALWAYS BE #1 TO ME!)


Hey! Happy 11/11/11!!! I hope you all had a great week! As I mentioned, my Dad was in the hospital, and Good Karma Cafe is nearby! When I went to visit him (which by the way, he is doing great and is home now!), I grabbed myself takeout. I had their Love Bowl: kale, tempeh, beans and rice with sesame seeds and a sweet mustard sauce. So GOOD!
I also grabbed some raw truffles! These were so rich and decadent! I wish I had more!
For dinner one night I made some raw kale topped with red lentils and raw kraut.
Another night I made brown rice pasta topped with white beans, sundried tomatoes, garlic and arugula. I pretty much cooked the sundried tomatoes in garlic and olive oil then added the beans, some soy free miso and seasonings, when the pasta was done boiling, I added it to the sauce with some raw arugula. Then let the arugula wilt with the burner off. This came out delicious!
Speaking of arugula, I forgot how much I love it! I had it with some raw kale, broccoli sprouts and raw kraut for lunch one day. I expect you will be seeing more arugula in the future! ;)
Have a wonderful weekend! XO

Love arugula! Probably more than kale actually when it comes to smoothie making. I love kale salad though

Love arugala! It's my mom's favorite, but I can't let anything top kale. I crave it! Good Karma is the best! I love the kale salad with raw apple cider vinegar dressing. I get it every single time!

You know, I never would have thought to wilt arugula. Heat and certain greens always mystify me, but it makes sense!
