kale salad with tilapia, peppers + onions

jamiestelter — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 16:13:00 +0000

This is one of my most favorite salads to make because:

1. It takes less than 10 minutes to whip up.

2. It’s super satisfying — not just for me but my big strong husband, too.

3. You can make it with any kind of light, white fish you have on hand. I prefer it with tilapia, but you can use sole, flounder, mahi mahi, etc…

4. You can make the dressing as spicy or creamy as you like by varying the amounts of sriracha and Vegenaise, respectively.

5. Did I mention it takes less than 10 minutes to make? I’m all about a quick, healthy meal.

Kale Salad with Tilapia, Peppers + Onions

SERVES TWO

Ingredients

1 large bunch of kale, stems removed
2 bell peppers (I use one orange, one red), sliced thin
1/2 large yellow onion, sliced thin
2 tilapia fillets
extra virgin olive oil
2 TBSP Vegenaise
1 TBSP dijon mustard
juice of 1 lemon
sriracha, to taste

Instructions

Make dressing by combining Vegenaise, mustard, lemon juice and sriracha in a bowl. Stir well.
Massage kale into the dressing (with a spoon or your hands) coating it well and softening the kale at the same time.
Plate the dressed kale.
Heat olive oil in pan and saute onions until translucent. Then, add peppers and cook until soft.
Add tilapia fillets to the pan and saute about 3-4 minutes per side, until white all the way through.
Serve fish, peppers and onions atop the kale and enjoy.

fuel for 2013

Last night we did the unthinkable. Twice.

First: without knowing it, we gave each other the same Chanukkah/Christmas present. A Nike FuelBand!

Then, shit got real: we got on the scale — in front of each other. Weigh and shame.

And while I won’t mention the results, I will share our goals. Before B’s book party — first or second week in May — I want to lose 7 pounds and he wants to lose 35.

Let the countdown begin: T-minus 4 months.

Have any advice / tips / tricks / recipes? Send ’em along — we can use all the help we can get.

luckily, we didn’t need it.

liquid lunch in the lovenest

I love my Vitamix. I would marry it and make its babies if I could. Besides my favorite Rag & Bone boots, it is absolutely the best $500 I ever spent. I know what you’re saying to yourself — $500?! For a blender?! That was my first thought too when my friend Jackie recommended it. But trust. I watched the hour-long QVC infomercial and I was hooked. I bought it. I have yet to regret one penny of it.

It does EVERYTHING.

My favorite thing it does — and the real reason I bought it in the first place — is it juices veggies, from whole. I love me some green juice. And if you’re a girl trying to get the man in your life to eat healthier, this is the best way — because it’s so easy. You can pack so much veggie goodness into one drink. And you can sweeten it up for them too with fruit or a touch of fruit juice, like I did today with this mix: kale, cucumber, strawberries, flax oil, orange juice and ice cubes.

my first time really truly cooking for B

jamiestelter — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:00:00 +0000

Valentine’s Day 2012: I invited B over to my apartment for a special, home-cooked meal — a big deal since I had never cooked for him before.

I made his favorites: scallops + Brussels sprouts and what he thought were mashed potatoes, but was really mashed cauliflower. A little trickery in the kitchen never hurt anyone.
