Today was much shorter than yesterday – thank goodness! I did the 6am spin class and then came home for a quick shower and oatmeal in the car on the way to school.

After school I stopped at the post office to drop off some special packages and then came home to make dinner. I decided to try a new recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks: Lowfat Favorites from Moosewood.

The recipe was for black eyed peas and greens. I, of course, changed it a little bit.

Black Eyed Peas and Garlic Kale

• 1.5 cups of black eyed peas – cooked according to directions
• 3 cloves of garlic – minced
• 1 Tbsp. EVOO
• about 4-5 cups of kale – washed and chopped
• about 1 c. of water total

1. Cook black eyed peas as directed.
2. In a saucepan, stir fry EVOO and garlic until garlic browns and begins to spell good. 🙂
3. Add washed kale to pan. Stir around until all greens get coated lightly.
4. Slowly and carefully add about 1/3 c. water – be careful it will sizzle.
5. Stir fry until all kale is wilted.
6. Add cooked peas.
7. Serve with bulgur or rice..

I had mine with baked tofu and Brady had his with chicken stir fried in peanut sauce.

Enjoy!
