The Chew - Chat N' Chew: Meatless Monday Meals - The Chew

Houston, we've got a problem!

Well, it's finally happened!  My youngest has decided to revolt!  He is tired of being healthy and he wants fast food NOW!  It all started innocently enough with a request for a kid's meal for an after school snack. I decided to tell my little precious gift from above that I want him to be strong and healthy so let's think of a healthier option!  His response:  I want to be UN healthy!  I don't want to be big and strong! Give me my cheeseburger and fries!  Oh boy...

Needless to say, I've created a monster!  I should have never started rewarding the kids with fast food!  But, change is good!  I am hoping to create heathy changes that last a lifetime.  My baby isn't too happy with his Veggie Mama now, but hopefully (in maybe 15 years), he will be happy that I stuck to my commitment.

Today Is National Kale Day!

Its October 2nd and its NATIONAL KALE DAY!

 Kale day - its a real thing!!  I can't believe there is a whole day dedicated to this SUPERFOOD!

I'm gonna celebrate by serving up a Kale dessert!

Chocolate Kale Fudge Pop

These rich, indulgent fudge pops get a boost of fiber thanks to a hearty dose of kale. 

Serves 8

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
2 cups warm water
1 cup torn kale leaves

In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except kale and add the warm water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and thick. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Place kale in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Stir the kale into the chocolate mixture and divide it among 8 ice pop molds and insert ice pop sticks.

Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. The pops will keep for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container in the freezer.

Now that I am creating fantastic vegetarian meal options (for myself), everyone wants to partake!  My family loves my veggie wraps!  We can't keep greens in the house!  I think my plan is working too well!  Now, I have to shop more and this is a problem....

Who has the time to be in the market?
