Live from the Farm!!!

My friends and I went apple (tomato, spinach, swiss chard) picking today. We had a blast and it felt GREAT to get fresh fruit and veggies straight from the farm. I have lots of plans for the goodies I got! If you a chance, take a trip out to a local farm and pick up some REAL food. Did I mention that the prices are better than the regular grocery store?

Hope you enjoy the video and pictures! Autumn is finally upon us :)

Single Sista Quick Fix Original - Chicken & Kale Fried Rice

You asked for it so here it is!! This recipe is SO SIMPLE!! Not even really a recipe, just a Quick Fix. I had to pat myself on the back after I made this one! It was completely off the cuff and it only took 15 minutes!!

Little background, I had some sauteed kale that I had prepared a few days before already on deck. (I sauteed the kale with olive oil, garlic and shallots). I also had some lightly seasoned (little Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic) chicken breasts. I wanted something different for dinner that night but really didn't want buy anything. So what did I do?

First, I cut up the chicken breast into cubes. I had two of them. (Sorry about the blurry pic)

 

Next, I cut up the kale. I would say I had roughly 1.5 - 2 cups. 

 

 

I added a little extra virgin olive oil to the pan and mixed the chicken and kale together. I then added a little black pepper and just a few red pepper flakes for a little kick.

 

 

For the rice, I took some frozen rice that had some veggies in it and mixed that in to my chicken and kale. The BEAUTIFUL thing is you can do this with ANY cold or frozen rice. If you make the rice right before it will make the dish too gummy. So yes, cold or frozen rice. Works VERY well with brown rice :)

Continue stirring until the rice is completely thawed/re-heated. Should take about 5 - 7 minutes.  

And there you have it!! This is super easy, simple, and yummy!!! I used leftovers and created something tasty and pretty healthy. You can add other ingredients like tofu, seafood, or just more veggies (broccoli or red peppers for example). Don't be afraid to experiment with this recipe. 

 

 

Let me know if you make this and how it turns out! And as ALWAYS, SALUD!! 

A MUST Read!! “7 Ways to Eat Good on a Hood Budget”

Morning lovelies!! I just came across this article and thought I would share it. Stic from Dead Prez wrote this article and I couldn't have said it better myself. I support and wholeheartedly agree with everything he says. I essentially learned these principles while living on a graduate student budget. These 7 concepts are basically what has been the driving force behind the Single Sista's Dish from day ONE!

Hope you enjoy this article as much as I did :)
