Kale Goodness

I like me some kale and it's so healthy that I figure every time I eat it I get some extra points for Heaven. Baby Jeebus loves the leafy greens! But for me it's gotta be cooked, cuz otherwise it's a little too bitter and chalky. For an easy, healthy dinner side, try the following...

Ingredients:
a couple tablespoons of olive oil
6-8 fresh, washed kale leaves
some cloves of garlic, crushed/finely chopped/micro-grated (I used 5. Yumz!)
half a can of diced/crushed fire-roasted tomatoes

Serves 2.

1. Pour the olive oil in a big, heavy frying pan/wok pan.
2. Add the garlic and heat it up just until it starts to smell good.
3. Add the big pile of kale and let it start to cook on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally. The kale will shrink down as it heats through. You can cover the pan to help it heat more efficiently.
4. A few minutes before the kale is done, add the tomatoes and let them heat through. Mix it all up.
5. When everything is nice and warm, remove from heat and serve immediately.

Possible accompaniments: mac and cheese, rice pilaf, couscous, quinoa, tofu.
