eats: Kale, Corn, and Grilled Chicken Salad (made two ways)

Tuesday, October 1, 2013 1 Comment

 

Kale, Corn, and Grilled Chicken Salad (made two ways - kiddo & adult) | Mama Miss #kidfood #healthyeating #familyfood


I often get asked about the kiddos & their meals.  I don’t feed them special meals (except for the occasional fun lunch – but I usually eat the same thing in a more, throw-it-in-a-container, less fun way ;).

They eat what we eat, only kiddo-fied!  What do I mean by kiddo-fied?!  Well, any adult meal can be kiddo-fied by adding fun kiddo elements.  Elements like – candy eyes, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips – all are very low calorie but still provide that little snicker of sweetness to engage their interest in it.  And, non-food fun like – fun plates, fun utensils, mini ANYTHING, food layout, creating a creature with cutters, fun colors, silicone cups in fun shapes, fun notes, etc.  As long as you create a fun aspect to it – it will fly with wild colors in this house!

Take for example – this super yummy, “super food”, and super healthy – Kale, Corn, and Grilled Chicken Salad – made for both hubs & me, and the kiddos.  The kiddos have the same ingredients as us, only theirs is KIDDO-FIED – with a fun divided tray, mini corn-on-the-cobs, and some added bananas.

Kale, Corn, and Grilled Chicken Salad (made two ways)

Yield: 2 Adult Portions and 2 Kid Portions

This super yummy, “super food”, and super healthy - Kale, Corn, and Grilled Chicken Salad is a simple and easy meal for the whole family.

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
freshly ground coarse black pepper
freshly ground coarse sea salt
4 ears fresh corn, husked, cleaned and ends trimmed
3 cups kale, rinsed and chopped
1 cup green cabbage, rinsed and chopped
1/2 cup radicchio (also called red-leafed chicory), rinsed and chopped
1/2 cup raw brussels sprouts, rinsed, trimmed and sliced
1/2 cup raw broccoli stalks, rinsed and sliced
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/8 cup pepitas
optional: dressing

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with black pepper & sea salt. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the olive oil. Add chicken to the heated skillet and lower temperature to medium, cover pan and grill chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. Once fully cooked, cut 2 breasts of the chicken into strips and one breast into bite-sized chunks (alternatively you could also grill the chicken on an outdoor grill).
  2. While chicken is cooking; Fill a large pot half full with water; bring to a boil. Add corn; cover and cook for 3-5 minutes (do not overcook).
  3. Remove corn from pot; Cut two cobs of corn from the cob with sharp knife.
  4. Place each corn, standing vertical, end side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, holding near the top of the ear, start at the top and cut downward from the cob. Continue cutting until all of the corn is removed. Cut the two remaining corn on the cobs in half.
  5. In a large bowl, add the kale, green cabbage, radicchio, brussels sprouts, broccoli stalks, cranberries, and pepitas. Toss together gently until combined. Set aside a handful for the kiddo plates.
  6. Divide the remaining kale mixture between two large salad bowls. Top with grilled chicken and corn.
  7. Divide the chicken chunks, small corn-on-the-cobs, and handful of kale mixture amongst the two kiddo plates.
  8. optional: top with dressing (my favorite is poppy-seed dressing - it adds a nice sweetness to the salad).

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
