Kale Me Now

First off, don't pass out because I have blogged two days in a row. Second, lets chat about kale. Kale is a superfood which I am sure you have heard. It is packed with Vitamins A, C and K and your body will smile when you eat it. I know this, my body smiles.. and I am not very bendy so that is saying a lot.

Anywho, ADD girl is back. The thing that normally stops people from consuming kale is that it's green. That shouldn't stop you that should encourage you!! The darker the green the better! Plus, it tastes good. I promise you. You can juice kale, sauté it, grill it, cream it and bake it. I'm sure there are more uses but "Ain't nobody got time for that."

I bake my kale.. as well as other things. HOLY KALE JUST KIDDING. I like to refer to myself as a "grass-free" hippie. Anyways, baked kale is absolutely lovely and is also known as kale chips! I am a chips and guac lover so using kale chips to dip instead not only boots the nutrients but also the flavor! I spiced up kale to make it a delectable snack as well as dipper. Enjoy my lovers.

Nice to Meet You

Well, hay gurl hay.. Or boy, I mean man, you're definitely a man. Anyway, my name is Whollygirl and it's so nice to meet you! I have been MIA for almost a whole year doing this thing called college. It's a new thing, not sure if you've heard of it but it's pretty fun. I've met a lot of great souls and I had to go to this thing called class. I don't know how they expect you to go to class when you're around awesome people all the time, so that may have been an issue.
Other than that I've been pretty steadily gaining weight. The freshman-fifteen is real people and I am not a fan. It may or may not be because of a little too much partying, I'm not gonna say. What I am gonna say though is that I now understand how tough it is to make healthy choices. Eating in a dining hall bloated me with salt and sugar. I was basically curing from the inside, like pork. I'm basically bacon. BACON I TELL YOU!
A year without my own personal stove made me want to cry then I savored T-bell a few times and it made me smile. I now understand why people make unhealthy choices.. because they taste good. I was also introduced to the Oreo cookie. Holy creamy white fluff it was amazing. Especially with peanut butter on top, now that is a sexual feeling in your mouth if I do say so myself.
Okay, I'll stop making you drool now. Or throw-up considering my eating habits flopped like a beagles ears. The thing is, I knew how to eat healthy and I just ignored it, straight up listened to the devil on my shoulder not the fit angel.
This year taught me so much especially that eating healthy can be tough! Now that I'm home I am focusing on cleansing my body. I have gone Paleo, you know caveman style. This might make you ponder but if I tie my hair in front of my face I definitely have a nice beard flow going. (Maybe I should change Whollygirl to Cavegirl?) Sorry I am so ADD.
So anyway! I will be taking you through my Paleo adventure and I will continue to share my adventure through my second year of this thing called college. So hang out with me, Cavegirl for the summer and learn and live Paleo.. with a few cheat meals of course.
Love ya!
