Easy Green's and Do It Yourself Skincare

Happy end of the week Nibblers!  As usual, we're following you into the weekend with some recipes and something Lauren learned this week.  If you haven't entered our 'Love Letter's for NibMor' Contest, time is running out!  Click the link below to enter and win loads of NibMor goodies this Valentine's Day.  

HKT's Green's and Bean's:  If you know me, then you know how much I love a meal I can put together quickly.  Life is hectic!  I am constantly searching for variety in time savers.  The other night I plucked this recipe from Delicious Living Magazine (where we are featured this month- click HERE).  I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, and my husband did too. 
Green's and Beans:
1 cup white beans(cooked)
2 eggs**
1 bunch collard greens, stemmed and chopped
2 cups water
1tsp apple cider vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil

Bring 2 cups of water to near boil simmer with the apple cider vinegar.  Poach the eggs in the water bath- they will set in about 5mins.  Heat oil and garlic in a pan and add greens.  Cook greens down, about 3-4 mins and add beans.  Heat another minute or 2.  Scoop bean and chard mixture evenly into 2 bowls, top with poached egg.  **If you are vegan, you can easily use a marinated tofu as a substitute for the egg.  We topped this dish with salsa and it was delicious!  

Lauren learned how to make some of her own skincare: Are you looking for an affordable and natural way to exfoliate your skin?  Well I just found one!  I am big on exfoliating my skin and it can be hard to find a good and inexpensive way to do so.  I searched the web for a more natural approach.  All you need is Sugar and Oil!  These are staple items that you may already have in your cabinets which is great!  Simply combine equal amounts of oil and sugar.  A great oil to use would be coconut oil if you have it laying around.  Now just scrub, scrub, scrub!  This is an easy and affordable way to keep your skin healthy without using products with ingredients that you aren’t familiar with!  You can even add a little bit of honey or lemons for extra nourishment!  Enjoy Nibblers!
