Look at all that kale, and for only 98 cents:
I used about half of it and ended up with maybe two cups of greens once I stripped them from their stems (and washed and chopped them).
I made two quarts of broth the night before using my mystery soup method. One quart went into the freezer and the other into the soup. I added a can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed, the kale, and then a few ounces of one of the Valentine's Day cheeses.
Kale Experiment #1: Success! Looking forward to Kale Experiment #2: TBD. Probably kale chips.
Now for the random thoughts:
- Weigh-in tonight! I'm a little nervous. I was at 187 and change this morning, so I'm pretty sure I won't be getting my 15 lb reward this week. Ah well, there's always next week.
- I'd intended this blog to be about my weight-loss journey and titled it accordingly, but I'm posting an awful lot of recipes. Do I need to refocus? Cut back on the recipes and post more about other weight loss efforts? Maybe do I need to start a second blog for the recipes? Seriously, I have two more cooking posts to put up but haven't yet because I think I'm already on the brink of over-kill with the cooking.

No, it's YOUR blog, post anything you want. There are no rules, really.
I love that you are trying new recipes. This is something that I, too, want to begin to do! Thanks for the inspiration!
I like your recipes, I've gotten some GREAT ideas from you. Keep on doing what you're doing!!! :)
More than anything, our blogs should have meaning to US. Post what YOU enjoy, what moves YOU at the moment. And if that happens to be a recipe that some of us might benefit from, all the better. :)
I don't think that you need to start a new blog, I think healthy recipes are all about your weight loss journey. Plus I find it nearly impossible to manage two blogs haha.
I've never used kale before, I should try at some point.
I love the recipes. I think losing weight is also about healthy food. There are more like you. Haute Plates, Svelte Gourmet.
I say keep on keeping.
thanks for the input everybody!
