KALE KALE KALE!

Today we made Sauteed kale with onions and mushrooms and it was delicious. For those of you who are like..what is kale?? Kale is a leafy vegetable. It has the same consistency as spinach, but it's a little heartier & looks like it has more 'veins.' It was a great addition to the mushrooms & onions we normally enjoy alone in a wrap. I suspect we'll be making more Kale again soon. Plus, it's super healthy. Kale is one of the super foods that people hear about & read about in magazines but you never really go out and make it because your mom never made it for you when you were littles probably. like spinach & broccoli. we all know what thats about. but kale is special. just in the produce section and supperrr easy to deal with.

THEN! We made another super amazing baked granola snack. We juiced some oranges & a white nectarine, mixed it with almond butter (made by earth balance...its lightly sweetened with agave nectar), some honey & a bunch of oats from the bins at whole foods. and! a bag of whole foods trail mix that has different nuts, raisins and a little chocolate. (not vegan, but a little bit is okay..)

This got us to thinking and talking about how crazy it is that everyone doesn't just make their own granola bars! We eat tons of granola bars every day and they have tons of ingredients and preservatives we dont know about AND they cost a lot! and when you make it yourself, you get to control everything about it and decide exactly how you want it. and it's really soft & just tastes fresh like a fresh pie. mmmm.. Once you start eating the healthy versions of all your favorite stuff, it's crazy how quickly you'll get addicted to it. We literally eat our granola snack and treat it like it is an amazing pie or a dairy queen blizzard. With no need to feel guilty!!! Plus, it gives you a noticable amount of energy. You literally feel as though you are fueling your body, because you are. your giving yourself what you want. and i cant tell you how many times i read something about one of the new staples in our diet (tons of vegetables, kale, oats, quinoa) about how it cures and prevents cancer & just fights disease like crazy.

but you know what else fights disease like crazy?? LAUGHTER!! which is why we are happy to be comedians & to spread the love every way that we can. (the cheesy police are off today wink wink.)

and in our comedy news--today we auditioned for a pilot presentation for comedy central. it's a remake of a 70s game show called 'the better sex.' except in this version you compete against your ex. of course we pretended we were broken up and just hit it out of the ballpark. super exciting gig. we got to fight and make everyone laugh which is exactly what we're good at.

we also did our spots at our comedy club tonight. :) :)

goodnight for now..might take a walk through west hollywood & watch the gays walk their dogs. best neighborhood !
