Open-minded, Open-faced


Having an "open-mind" to things is easier said than done. For years there were vegetables that I refused to eat. I just didn't like them, or so I thought. Or maybe I had tried it once and made a decision. Either I didn't like the texture, or the aroma; I don't really remember.


Nowadays I will give anything and everything a chance. And if I still do not like it I will just cook it a different way. Food is fun! I can now say that there is not a vegetable that I will not eat. Each one is unique and flavorful. Most important they are good for you!!! Each day try to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. A rainbow of colors are ideal, as each color contains minerals and vitamins vital to premium health.

Mamma's right "Eat Your Vegetables!"

Open-Faced Sandwich


2 slices gluten free bread, toasted
1 red onion, julienned
1 portobello, julienned
1/2 bunch Dino kale, shredded
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper
1 Roma tomato, sliced


  1. In a saute pan, heat oil at medium heat and cook onion until light brown occurs, then add portobello and garlic.
  2. Cook until mushrooms are dark, then stir in kale and continue to cook until wilted.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the sandwich as you wish, add a favorite spread or sauce to finish. I used a home-made cashew mayo.


Enjoy.
