I love greens! In fact, in order to keep my clotting factor in balance, I have to have some almost every day. It's got a lot of Vit. K, and that can affect my blood thinner meds. The dose is dependent on what I eat, and since I was eating a lot of greens when they set the dose, I get to continue on with having lots of salads and my favorite - Swiss chard. I like kale and spinach, but chard is wonderful. Don't they have greens at your local grocery store? Mine stocks both fresh and frozen.
Yes, we used to have red beans and rice fairly often, but with dh's colitis, beans are out. I can get it at restaurants, but don't want to make it at home. It would tempt him, and I try not to do that.
