Delicious Greek-style meal featuring kale that will leave even children begging for more.  This amazing dish has roma tomatoes, tempeh, and instant brown rice simmered in a delicious broth with a splash of lemon juice for added flavor.   I wanted to find new ways to get my kids to eat kale, aside from 'hiding' it in chocolate smoothies.

This recipe was a total HIT with the kiddos and they did not pick around the kale either.  I couldn't believe how simple ingredients could turn into such an amazing creation.  I am grateful that I was able to find yet another recipe to get greens into my sugar loving family!  This has become a new family favorite and will definitely be a go to recipe when I need something quick and healthy.

Why do I want to get more Kale into my family's diet?
