Kale Krack Breakfast



 This my friend is one my favorite breakfasts and the easiest! I could eat this for breakfast everyday.  I wasn't lying when I said we have the Kale Krack Salad at least once a week.  It's such an easy salad to make and great to have on hand. Plus it is so freaking good.  Not only is it a great side dish for dinner but it is amazing for breakfast.

  I needed an easy breakfast this morning because the past couple of days have been rough.  We are still battling loose teeth!  It's been over two months and the more loose the teeth become the worse Lucca is getting.  His listening is declining, emotions are extremely high, movements (tics) are starting, sleep is an issue and focus is all over the place.  We are still better than when Lucca was first diagnosed with PANDAS.  But, it is becoming a slow decline and slowly breaking my heart. I can't help but have a fear and worry about whether or not it's really his teeth. Is it his allergies causing additional problems? Or is it the new school year starting...has he been exposed to strep? I won't know for sure until these teeth are out!

  It's difficult to watch a child's every move and wonder is it PANDAS related or is it typical 7 yr old boy behavior?  You question everything and it is enough to drive you crazy.  You constantly watch other children and try to find a resemblance to your child. Sometimes when you see it you feel better but most of the time it's hard to find a real resemblance when they are having a flare/episode.  Just a little over a month of school and we received the email that we need to meet with Lucca's teacher to discuss his behavior.  Noooooo!!  It really sucks because we started out so well. Damn it! 

  I am determined to get these teeth out and it is my new mission in life! I hope once the teeth are gone his behavior will level out again.  If not, then we will know we need to focus on other things.  We are upping the tooth fairy ante to $5 to help encourage Lucca to pull it out too. At any moment when Lucca is sitting around I will tell him to start wiggling his teeth. I have become a drill sergeant that shouts commands to get these teeth out. We will gargle, tug, pull, twist, and yank.  We will use a string if we need to.  What ever it takes, we will do it! I just want these teeth out already!

  As you can tell I have been a little busy with teeth and cooking hasn't been my main focus. So, I have been making some of my go to recipes.  We pretty much always have the Kale salad in the fridge. I seriously love eating it for breakfast with two eggs over easy.  I like to sprinkle a little red pepper flakes on top to add some heat and that's it. So next time you make some Kale Krack Salad save some for the morning. Kale Krack Breakfast...super easy and super healthy!
