Have you tried Farmer Cheese by Lifeway Kefir?  
  
One of my resolutions for 2023 is to cook more healthy meals at home.

I want to share with you my Lifeway Farmer Cheese Angel Hair Pasta recipe:  
  
Ingredients:  


🧀16 oz container of Lifeway Farmer Cheese  
🍝Pasta (I used 1/2 box of angel hair)  
🍄Sliced portabella mushrooms (2.5 cups)  
🥬Chopped Kale (one steamable bag)

Directions:


Saute sliced portabella mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper. (I cook my mushrooms until they are a little crispy) 
 
While mushrooms are sauteing, cook the pasta and reserve 1 cup of water. Drain & return the pasta to the pot on the stove.
  
Steam chopped kale in the microwave.  

Add mushrooms & kale to pasta & stir.


Add Farmer Cheese (I added about half of the container) to the pasta and vegetables. Add the reserved cooking water. Stir until everything is mixed. You can add more cheese or a little water depending on how thick/thin you want your sauce.  

Add more salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon for a little zing. 🍋
  
J and I absolutely loved this dinner recipe! The Lifeway Farmer Cheese is up to 99% lactose-free, has 12 active and live probiotic cultures, is gluten-free, and has 13g of protein per serving.

I also love cutting up celery stalks or cucumbers, spreading on  Lifeway Farmer Cheese, sprinkling on Everything but the Bagel seasoning, and VOILA, a delicious, healthy, protein-packed snack!

Flavored Kale Chips

/ realmofvibes / 23 Comments

I love kale. I always purchase kale for my salads and smoothies, so I decided it would be more cost effective to grow kale in my garden this year. I also found that it was very difficult to find a bag of kale chips without artificial flavors and preservatives. Kale chips could also be quite expensive, so I started making flavored kale chips at home. It took a few some experimenting to come up with the perfect recipe.

Shopping List

  • Fresh kale, cleaned and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • Flavored olive oil (I used cilantro & roasted garlic.)
  • Flavored salt (I used garlic.)
  • Side note: Get creative. Add crushed red pepper, minced ginger, black salt, etc.

Olive Oil and Garlic Salt

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread one layer of kale onto a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle olive oil over kale. Make sure each leaf has olive oil on it.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • Cook in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Watch kale closely. If you overcook, it will taste bitter and burnt. If you don’t cook it long enough, it will not be crunchy and will be slick with olive oil.

The final result…

Kale Chips

Crunchy, yummy, healthy kale chips with a nice flavor of cilantro, onion, and garlic.
