1 bushel of kale
1 tbsp garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp coconut nectar
1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp thyme

Wash and dice potatoes into small cubes then place in a dish with a cover. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil, parsley, basil,thyme and coconut nectar to potatoes. Cover and shake until potatoes are covered in seasoning.
Preheat oven to 475, spray baking sheet with olive oil spray and dump potatoes onto baking sheet.
Place in oven for 20-30 min, turning potatoes often to brown evenly.

For quinoa:
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup black beans

In a pot add chicken stock and bring to a boil then add quinoa. Bring back to a boil then lower heat to a simmer and cover. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking about 12-15 min. Last 5 min add black beans and stir.

When you have about 10 min left on potatoes start kale.

Grab a sauté pan and add 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp garlic. Wash and chop kale, dry and ass to sauté pan. Mix all ingredients together so kale is coated with olive oil and garlic. Cover and heat on low for about 5 min.
Kale is done when it starts looking droopy.

Once quinoa is finished you can plate.
Next add kale and top with sweet potatoes.

This recipe may not look very filling but it's a lot heartier than you think!
