Southern Greens with Green Apples, Cranberries, Goat Cheese and Toasted Almonds

Happy Friday Everyone!

Last night I decided to try tweaking my usual greens to include some fruit and cheese.  Here is a visual recipe for you!  I apologize, I really do not measure my ingredients ... so use your best judgement when trying these delicious cooked green recipes!  













As far as the greens, you can use whatever you like ... this was actually a bagged mix of turnip greens, chard, kale and I added some extra baby spinach.  

The fresh goat cheese was the kind that is covered with fresh cranberries ... yes, I love goat cheese and tried not to overpower the greens ... just three little slices that softened on the warm plate.

One last tip before I start my busy Friday:  if you have any leftovers, a great way to use them is to make a batch of quinoa for the weekend and add these greens to your bowl.  For me this is perfect because you get the protein from the quinoa, your greens of course, some fat from the cheese, almonds and olive oil, fiber from everything and a touch of sweetness to just make you say wow!

Have an awesome weekend!
Stay warm!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
