A tasty treat - kale, mushrooms & sun-dried tomatoes

This is my first blog, so if you are reading this, WELCOME!  I wanted to share quickly a delicious treat that I whipped up.  Many folks are afraid of cooking kale, although it is one of the top healthiest foods you can eat.  Often times the kale comes out bitter or tough but this recipe eliminates both!  It's quick, easy, healthy and it makes a great holiday side dish due to the green and red colors :-)

Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
one package of baby bella mushrooms, chopped ($2.49 @ Whole Foods)
8 oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped roughly
2 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of organic kale, washed, stemmed, and chopped roughly ($1.77 @ Whole Foods)

Method:
In a large skillet (with a lid), warm the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the mushrooms and saute until soft. *Note adding ingredients to cold oil causes it to be absorbed rather than utilized to saute* Add the garlic and tomatoes and saute for a few minutes.  Stir in the kale and allow leaves to begin to wilt.  Pour in one quarter cup of water, cover and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  ENJOY!

Finished dish - ENJOY!!
