Paleo Warm Kale and Harissa Salad


I don’t love kale. Why do I eat it then? Well, this super green is low in calories, high in fiber, has zero fat and is filled with many nutrients and vitamins that we all need more of to feel our best and stay healthy. Sometimes I find kale rather bitter, but that really depends on the plant. Have you tried kale sprouts yet? They are pretty tasty and a bit on the sweeter side. Whether you love kale, or love to hate it, try my new recipe for a warm kale salad mixed with Harissa sauce! It just might win you over…

Carrot Cake Juice

I recently decided that carrots are my favorite cooked vegetable. Peel, slice, and bake carrots in the oven with a little olive oil, garlic and dill – YUM! Coat some fresh carrots with olive oil and sea salt then throw them on the grill – YUM! Peel and toss with some olive oil and honey then bake – YUM! — I could keep going! — My newly found love for the carrot has led to me buying the vegetable in bulk so I wanted to find another way to use up some of the carrots other then as a side dish. Then I saw my my juicer…
My husband and I had a Carrot Cake at our wedding. No, we didn’t get married on Easter, although Carrot Cake is a classic Easter dessert.  I haven’t figure out how to recreate this delicious dessert Paleo yet but, I did make a nutritious little juice recipe based of the classic cake and this recipe is just  in time for Bunny Day!
