Sautéed Kale with Almonds and Apricots

1/4 cup chopped almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large head of kale, stems removed and leaves chopped 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup dried apricots

Heat olive oil in a large skillet.  Toast almonds for 5 minutes then add kale, sea salt and apricots. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. If you like your almonds really crunchy toast them in the oven on 375 for 5 minutes and then add to finished kale.  With all the sickness that has been going around Kale is our go to get well or stay well food! Enjoy.

Waffle Sandwich

Waffle
Cream Cheese
Blueberries (or favorite fruit also love raspberries)
Walnuts (optional)

You can make homemade waffles or buy waffles (whole wheat, glutton free or multigrain). Cut the waffle in 1/2 and spread cream cheese on 1 half of the waffle. Add blueberries and chopped walnuts. Top it with the other half of the waffle. We interchange cream cheese with peanut butter or your favorite nut butter.  The girls like to count and add blueberries in rows seeing how many they can get to stick to the spread. Waffle it up!
