Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat up a few tablespoons of water over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion and water-saute for a few minutes or until soft. Add mushrooms and continue cooking for several more minutes.
2. Add no-salt seasoning and turmeric to the mixture and stir to combine. Add the tomato, peas, baked sweet potato and beans to the pot, along with about a ½ cup of water if mixture is dry. Stir to combine.
3. Finally, add the kale to the pot and turn the heat to low. Place the lid on the pot and cook for several minutes or until the kale is wilted but bright green. Turn the heat off and stir in the nutritional yeast and Lemon-Tahini Sauce.
Lemon-Tahini Sauce
Directions:
1. Place tahini in a medium bowl.
2. Squeeze juice from lemons and add to tahini. Stir to blend. Use more or less lemon juice to reach desired flavor and consistency.
I’m always excited to share a new kale recipe, so I hope you like this one.

My goal is 100% compliance with Dr. Fuhrman’s 6-week plan. Three meals, and a snack allowed only if I ate a low-calorie meal and got hungry too soon as a result. Eating only when hungry and stopping when no longer hungry, even if I don’t feel “full” yet.

I’m so excited to recommit and I’m even more excited your first recipe is a greens recipe. I have the hardest time getting my greens. I’m not a fan so far. I’ll keep trying to change my taste buds! I have everything to give this a go tonight!
Thank you so much for starting another challenge! Is there a post on the boards for this challenge?

Hi Carrie!
I am on board with this challenge! I know the address to where you purchased your non-fortified nutritional yeast is among one of your blogs, but could you please re-post it and thank you.
Your saffron cheese sauce has become one of our favorites to put on veggies, it has helped me eat more of them. I do add a splash of Dr. Fuhrman’s reisling vinegar for an extra “twang”.

Hi Jeanne! I’m on my iPad and can’t send you the link to the yeast easily right now, but it is on my blog’s Resources page. Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll send it to tomorrow.

Carrie, Carrie, Carrie — why torture yourself with that bag of “toxic waste”? If it’s not good enough for your body now, commit to your change, and DUMP THE JUNK! Sever ties with the deadly enemy! Send the bag with your salt and salt shakers to your local food bank, or the garbage-ola! Peace and prayers for your success, d

[ Smiles ] In a lot of instances, it is hard for some people to eat kale. But, you have provided a most interesting recipe here.

Ugh… I woke up this morning not feeling so great – not a good way to start a challenge. I was over-indulgent this weekend with the challenge looming ahead – that will be part of my challenge (not to overindulge). I’m looking forward to looking & feeling great within a few short days!
So glad you are hosting this challenge, it’s just what I needed =)
The kale dish looks great – I can’t wait to try it out!

So excited to be taking part in this challenge and getting back to lots of whole food vegan eats. I’ve been really under the weather of late with a viral infection so I’m hoping the good stuff on the nutritional front will clear it up! The kale dish sounds awesome, will have to try that!

I love how you are preparing for success! I look forward to seeing your Fuhrman-inspired recipes and following along in my own kitchen.

I have to say Carrie I have been so involved with being part of the group I even had a moment where I experienced that feeling of thinking I had dessert (you know what I mean, that euphoric anticipation when you know you have something delicious waiting for you) and then I realized I just had tea!!!!

And I should add, I was fine! My whole night didn’t revolve around wanting sweets.

That looks good!! Is tahini like soy sauce?

I ordered from the Dandy Blend website. So excited to try it!!

Can I start tomorrow? I forgot and want to jump on board. I am getting married May 18th, and my health and good habits have gone out the window. I need to focus on myself so I am healthy and happy for the big day. My main goals are to work out for 30 min daily, enjoy a daily green smoothie/salad and limit wine to one day a week. I can’t wait, thanks for doing this!!!!!!!

Carrie! Thank you for turning me onto Dr. Furhman! I began your challenge today – and my goal is to follow the 6 week plan to the “t” and I also have one month left of a ChaLEAN Extreme challenge. My goal for is to finish ChaLEAN strong, walk 2 miles a day and meal plan on Sundays and try a new recipe every week. So far, yesterday I made Dr. Furhman’s Tofu Ranch Dressing for my enormous salad full of veggies, great northern beans and raw sunflower seeds! It wasn’t too bad. Thank you so much for motivating me and I look forward to following your journey!

I’m thrilled to have found your blog! I picked up Eat To live a couple of months ago and have been strictly following it for 30 days now. I’m 40, learning an entirely new way of eating & cooking and so thankful for your recipes. I’ve already lost 12 lbs and I have lots of energy. I’ve been journaling what I eat because I’ve been amazed that I’m not hungry and I do have a lot of weight to loose (around 40lbs). However, I’m curious if the folks who have been following ETL if they find it necessary to journal (weigh & measure their food) to loose excess weight?
Well, thanks for the challenge. It’s great to have found the support of others making similar healthy choices. I have been cutting out; Salt, oil, refined sugar & flour, no sweeteners
Eating 3 meals a day with one fruit snack before workouts
