RW Acupuncture in Portland – Kale Chips Directions

by bev on May 7, 2012

At RiverWest Acupuncture in Portland, we want to share our ideas and recipes for some of the things that we do here in the clinic.  For those of you who have been around as we do these things, we’ve had you sample our concoction of the day.

Here is today’s bonus;  Kale Chips

1.  Make the Chips:   Tear the kale into “chip” size pieces.   We don’t include the stem since’s it’s pretty coarse.   Lay them on a baking sheet.

2.   Lightly drizzle some olive oil over them.

3.  Lightly sprinke with Garlic Salt.  Regular salt can be used rather than garlic salt.

4. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

They don’t look so pretty when they are done, but the taste more than makes up for lack of “presentation.”   Also notice the amount of shrinkage.  Take that into consideration when you consider your chip size.

Enjoy and be healthy!

Juicing Recipes AND Acupuncture in Portland

by bev on April 30, 2012

 

Detox Recipe

This is a detox recipe that we used this morning.   It tasted good and it’s effective.   One of the things that gets interesting is how to make these juices taste good so that it’s not a chore to get them to go down.    I use as much organic food as I can find.  

Serves 6

3  Cucumbers

12 Kale leaves – medium size

8  Celery sticks

1/2 Parsley bunch

3  Apples

3  Pears

3 Lemons (we use the whole lemon)

 

Fruit Fix

This is one of those foofy drinks that should have a little umbrella hanging out of it as you sit around the pool.

1  cup Pineapple chunks

1  cup Raspberrys

1  cup Strawberrys

1  Mango

1  Pear

1  Lemon (optional)

Drink and Smile!
