Basically you want to put the eggplant in a colander or a wire rack and salt them generously for at least 30 minutes to get some of the bitterness out. Then just rinse the salt off when you’re ready to cook.

For the kale, I put it in a big dutch oven with about 1/4 a cup of water and 1-2 tbsp balsamic from the start. I put the lid on and it was reduced and tender in about 10 minutes. I lifted the lid to stir a few times.

Here’s the Classic Oats breakdown:

Oats – 150
Skim milk (1/2 cup) – 50
2 oz or so of banana (sometimes we use 2 small, other times split a large, so I change this number around accordingly) – 50
About 10 grams walnuts – 60
About 10 grams almond butter – 60
1 tbsp ground flax – 35
Tsp brown sugar (only do this occasionally) – 11
= ~430

Hope that answers your questions!

Also, this is a silly question but I’m going to try eating more spinach and kale. How do you “steam” it or use it like this for recipes? And for this one, when did you add the aged balsamic vinegar?

And last but not least, when you do the Classic Kath Oats, can you give a breakdown of the calories just once? I try to replicate yours exactly (which are DELISH by the way!!) but always end up with more calories….

Thanks!!

Sara,
I’d love to do another video but I don’t know what would be fun to make. I need the husband here to film me too, so maybe this weekend. Any ideas or suggestions!?

If you don’t have a grill, you could pan-sear the eggplant or broil it.

How did you get out of your binging habit? I am definitely guilty of binging and for me it has definitely affected my weight. I don’t know how to get out of the pattern. I will be good for a few days and then I derail all my good habits with a few days of binging.

Question: This is probably a stupid question but how would I cook the eggplant if I don’t have a grill? I’m learning how to cook!

First day of girl time.

And three pieces of dove chocolate.

Oh well.

Food happens.
