Kale and Carrot Soup
- 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic (more if you like)
*Chop garlic 10 minutes before you sauté
to increase its anti-cancer benefits.
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
- 1-2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 inch of peeled fresh ginger, chopped or grated.
- 2-1 inch cinnamon sticks, left whole
- 2 bay leaves, left whole
- 1/2 lb. carrots, chopped
- 4 cups, cleaned (washed) or torn kale
- 1 large partially cooked sweet potato, peeled and cubed
*Can cook in microwave for 8-10 minutes
Sauté first six ingredients until tender, but not brown (approximately 5 minutes).
Add carrots and 2 cups water. Cook until carrots are tender (approximately 20 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper. Add kale, sweet potato and 2 cups water. Cook until kale is wilted,
but still bright in color. Sweet potatoes will break up slightly (or you can smash about half
the sweet potato) and thicken the broth. Remove the whole cinnamon sticks and bay leaves before
eating. Season with salt and pepper to you liking.
Serve with a tossed salad made with lots of different greens and fresh whole grain bread,
using more olive oil or hummus for a spread.

Breakfast, Dinner or Anytime Burrito
- 6 egg whites
- 5 tablespoons skim milk
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 small green pepper, diced (use 1/2 of pepper if it is very large)
- 1 small red pepper, diced (use 1/2 of pepper if it is very large)
- 4 cups fresh spinach, rinsed, chopped, and drained
- 2 10-12 inch, whole grain tortillas (whole wheat is available at most large grocery stores)
- 2/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 3 ounces (about 4 slices) pepper jack soy cheese
- Salsa for garnish
Rinse black beans well & drain thoroughly. Rinsing away the liquid around canned beans will
reduce the amount of gas you may experience from eating beans.
For easiest preparation, chop and dice all vegetables prior to beginning to cook. Whip together egg
whites, skim milk and salt & pepper and set this aside. Heat olive oil in non-stick skillet
and sauté onions over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes. Add peppers and continue to
cook for another 3-4 minutes.
In a separate, small non-stick pan, sauté
spinach in a dash of olive oil until leaves just wilt. Spinach should remain bright green. Carefully
drain liquid from spinach and set spinach aside. Heat tortillas in microwave for 5 to 10 seconds,
until just warm. Add egg/milk mixture to onions & peppers.
Cook until eggs are desired firmness. Split egg mixture in half and place half on each tortilla
shell. Add spinach, black beans, and soy cheese to each shell. Roll and fold both ends. Garnish
each burrito with salsa.
Make 2 servings.
