Smothered Kale with Baby Bella Mushrooms is an easy, healthy, and delicious recipe. It’s perfect to serve as a side dish or eat as a meal.
Do you eat Kale? I love Kale cooked with mushrooms. I think it tastes delicious.
Sometimes I’ll eat a large bowl of Kale by itself for dinner. Kale is known as a nutritional powerhouse.
Especially when it’s cooked with “Baby Bellas” known as crimini mushrooms in extra virgin olive oil with minced garlic, onions, and red pepper flakes. This recipe is very healthy, yet a tasty dish!
This Smothered Kale with Baby Bella Mushrooms recipe was created by combining spice with healthy vegetables.
I love the bold, spicy flavor and all the health benefits of this dish. Sometimes my family eats the kale recipe as a side dish accompanied by baked chicken or fish.
My little boy surprised me the first time he tasted this recipe by eating two big bowls of it. He has always loved spicy food but, I didn’t think he would eat the kale.
Lucky for me my son has found his new favorite vegetable. Now if I could only get him to drink more water!
The Smothered Kale with Baby Bella Mushrooms make this recipe high in fiber, calcium, low calorie, high in iron, vitamins B, K, A and C.
It’s a very flavorful recipe that you end up forgetting that it’s healthy for you. Additionally, it’s a quick and simple recipe that’s perfect to whip up for a busy weeknights.
Often when I make this recipe I’ll make extra to eat for lunch the next day. And, I’ll saute an extra container of mushrooms to put over baked potatoes or chicken.
Either way, my family ends up eating a lot of kale and mushrooms.
Kale is one of my favorite vegetables. What’s your favorite veggie?
I hope this dish inspires you to try cooking a little healthier. You might even like my cauliflower recipe or my green bean recipe.

I decided to grow some kale this winter in my little greenhouse, even though I've never tried the kale. It's about ready to eat, but I had no clue how to cook it–until now! Definitely trying this recipe!
