Hi, I’m Alison and I write New Life as New Wife.

I started "New Life as New Wife" in 2008 as a spin off to my wedding blog A Day in the life of a Rockstar Bride.

Like life, my blog has changed. My blog has now transitioned into the day-to-day challenges including how to save money, adjusting to life as a new home owner, and just recently, how to adjust to life after re-quitting my corporate job.

Prior to becoming a "grown-up", I spent the last 6 to 9 years as an IT professional, dance instructor and an awesome Rockstar wife.

Now, I walk dogs, teach yoga, teach dance and rockout as a the wife of a rockstar.

Kale with Peanut Butter Sauce

Saturday, April 23, 2011




Here's a recipe I made Thursday night. I will admit I did not have Natural Peanut Butter, so this came out a tad rich. Next time I will be sure to make it with the natural stuff as I'm sure it will make it that much more AWESOME! To be honest, I enjoyed it much better cold (the next day),




1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons Bragg's Liquid (or tamari/soy sauce)
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ginger
Dash of Tabasco
1 bunch kale, chopped
rice/pasta/couscous, ANYTHING really

1. In a large pan, heat vegetable oil. Fry garlic and onions, until translucent.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix peanut butter,
Bragg's, broth/water, and spices until the peanut butter has dissolved, and it has turned saucy.
3. Add kale to the pan, and cook until the leaves are dark green and wilted.
4. Add the peanut butter sauce to the pan. If it is too dry, add broth/water to reach desired consistency.
5. Pour over top your rice/pasta/coucous and ENJOY

I had mine with rekorderlig pear cider which is my drink of the summer.

Thanks to BD for the recipe, and don't forget to EAT MORE KALE!!
