cleaning the kitchen out

Hey guys. So I was hungry and chilling in my apartment in Chicago when I realized I had SO MUCH produce in my fridge and I have a flight to Philadelphia tonight, and I do not love wasting produce.

I had 1 head of purple cabbage, one bunch of kale, 1 bunch of swiss chard, 3 cups of spinach, 3 grapefruits, 2 apples, 2 zucchinis and  ... 7 hours until my flight.

For this meal, took the kale, mixed it with a tablespoon of coconut oil and 1/4 tsp garlic salt and put it in the oven at 400 deg F for 15 minutes.

I was feeling kinda lazy, so I just served it with an apple and some chicken. I went to the grocery store, but I saw the long lines and decided that I should just defrost the chicken in my freezer.

I think I'm going to freeze the spinach for smoothies. I'm going to make a salad for my flight because I'm going to be in Midway for hours and eating will take up time. I'm gonna look crazy, but probably not as crazy as I've looked chilling in the Philadelphia airport eating a head of romaine lettuce with my bare hands.

This cat loves kale. Even my cats love produce.

sunday salad: dijon chicken kale-slaw

You really can't love produce without loving salad. Here goes my Sunday salad:

1. Take a chicken thigh and put it in a pan. While your chicken is cooking, chop up 2 cups of kale and put it in your salad bowl. I assume you have a salad bowl because if you don't have a salad bowl, then bitch you don't love produce.

2. Spiralize one cucumber and one zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer then just slice it up thin.

3. Take two tablespoons of paleo may and mix it with 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard. (I made my paleo may with high oleic sunflower seed oil ... not totally paleo but pretty low in omega-6's). Add this to your salad.

4. Your chicken thigh should be done by now. Chop it into bite sized pieces.

5. Mix and enjoy.

I ate it before I took a picture of it. True gluttony.
