Chickpeas and Kale in Spicy Pomodoro Sauce: a winner!!
This Italian flavored meal was superb! And super healthy. We made a few changes to the recipe: about 3 tablespoons of olive oil instead of 1/2 cup. We topped the dish with avocados instead of cheese. We added a small can of stewed tomatoes we needed to use up. The key is to buy high quality peeled, whole tomatoes. We had to buy some fennel seeds. We used the bagged kale that comes already chopped. When you're craving Italian, this will do the trick. Quick and easy meal. Guaranteed delicious!
Topped with fresh basil.
And avocado
My doctor told me to start taking Red Yeast Rice supplements to reduce my cholesterol. She said that it can lower your total numbers by 20. My numbers came down this year, but they are still high: 224. We ordered the red yeast rice capsules from Amazon and they arrived the next day. We take it twice a day with food. I'm trying to stay off of statins.
If you are already on statin would you advise taking what your doctor recommended in addition to the statin?

ReplyDeleteStatins are medications that are used to lower cholesterol. Red yeast rice contains the statin drug lovastatin. Taking red yeast rice along with other statins might increase the risk of side effects. Do not take red yeast rice if you are already taking these medications.
