Enjoy This Week’s CommonHealth Weekly Wellnote

Warm and hearty, Kale with Bacon and Cannellini Beans offers a fantastic combination of flavors and textures. Serve in smaller portions as a side dish, use as a pasta topping or enjoy it on its own as a room temperature salad. Center-cut bacon is just like regular bacon but has less fat than traditional bacon because more of the fatty ends are cut off, which is what gives it its leaner nutrition profile. You’ll still get the same savory, smoky, porky flavor. Cooking the garlic and onion in the bacon drippings carries bacon-y flavor and richness from the fat throughout the dish. Be sure to de-stem the kale—the stems can be tough. Read the full recipe here.

Stay Well!
