Hey, Neighbors and Pinners! I’m really excited to bring a great recipe from my blog, Pintesting to you. This Sun-Dried Tomato, Kale, & White Bean Skillet is one that I found on Pinterest shortly after we chose to pursue a more plant-based diet. It has become a regular in our menu planning so I wanted to share it with you.
Before we started Our Urban Homestead, I had a blog called Pintesting where I tested, reviewed, and rated Pinterest Pins. I set that aside for about a year and a half but now I’m testing recipes and other content that I’m finding on Pinterest that aligns with our lifestyle.
We really like this Sun-Dried Tomato, Kale, & White Bean Skillet because it’s easy, delicious, only takes a handful of ingredients, and it comes together quickly. It’s a perfect weeknight dinner!
This dish is also super healthy! Kale, beans, and tomatoes are all considered superfoods. What are superfoods? They are nutrient-dense foods that are good for your health.
Kale:
- High in vitamins and minerals: Vitamin A, Vitamin c, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Manganese, Copper, Calcium, Potassium, and more
- Loaded with antioxidants and flavonoids
- Lots of fiber and can help lower cholesterol
- High in cancer-fighting compounds
- High in Lutein and Zeaxanthin which protect your eyes
- Can help you lose weight!
Beans:
- Helps increase longevity
- They have the perfect mix of protein, complex carbohydrates, and fat (the good for you kind)
- Good for digestion
- Helps regulate blood sugar
- High in fiber and can help lower cholesterol
- Helps with heart health and fights cancer
Tomatoes:
- Helps protect against cancer
- Reduces blood glucose in diabetics
- Can lower blood pressure
- High in lutein and lycopene which protects your eyes
- Promotes healthy skin and hair
- Reduces constipation
While these superfoods are extremely good for your health, they can also be contaminated with pesticides – especially kale and tomatoes. I prefer to choose organic whenever possible for these. And ALWAYS wash your fruit and vegetables. I use a vinegar and water bath as shown in this Pintesting for Lemon and Strawberry Detox Water.
I hope you’ll give the Sun-Dried Tomato, Kale, & White Bean Skillet a try. Head on over to Pintesting for the recipe and details. While you’re there, check out the other recipes and Pintestings!
