Sauteed Kale with Mushrooms and Tomatoes is the best healthy side dish. This also makes a great vegetarian main dish. I love to cook a big batch to eat with lunch or dinner- it's full of delicious flavor!

Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and allow them to brown 3-4 more minutes stirring often.
Add greens to the pan and season liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder and crushed red pepper. Mix everything together and allow the greens to cook down for 3-5 minutes, turning them periodically.

Once everything is well combined serve as a side dish or over rice as a meatless main dish.
