This is an easy pan fried kale recipe that’s loaded with flavor and ready in 15 minutes. Who knew kale could have so much flavor?!
I’ve shared with you that this past year has been a changing point for me. I’m determined to be healthier than I’ve ever been. I’ve already incorporated several changes into my healthy living lifestyle. One was the inclusion of a yoga practice in my daily life. You know, if you had asked me a year ago if I thought yoga could or would change my life, I would have mistakenly said no. But, it has! You can read more about my yoga practice here.

Another important change I’ve incorporated and continue to improve on, is eating healthier foods. Included in that list are avocados, coconut oil, herbs, vegetables, seafood and the exclusion of artificial ingredients and sweeteners. And, most recently, kale. Yep, I tried kale for the very first time just a couple of weeks ago while traveling home from visiting our son in Georgia.
It was simply some cooked kale with slivers of red onions and it was delicious! I was amazed. So, of course, I went to the grocery store when we returned home from Georgia, bought some organic kale and proceeded to make my own version of this dish. I’m still working on perfecting my Pan Fried Kale recipe, but I’d say I’m pretty close to perfection; if I do say so myself!
