- While potatoes are boiling, wash and roughly chop kale. Steam or gently sauté in a little olive oil on a moderate heat until wilted down and tender 5-10mins
- Drain potatoes in a colinder and put to one side. Chop bacon rashers into strips and fry until just cooked through, (3mins). Add cooked bacon to Kale, season with salt and pepper to taste and stir through.
- Return potatoes to pot with a thick slice of butter on a moderate heat. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to brown and crisp edges, stir occasionaly to avoid burning/sticking.

Information on How to Improve Your Mood with Food
Mostly, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and should be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be very nutritious and good for you. There are several foods that actually can boost your moods when you eat them. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, can be really great at fighting back depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be great for lifting up your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–work better. Try to eat an egg and feel better!
Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because these nuts are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The more serotonin in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific source of protein.
Cold water fish are great if you wish to feel happier. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly boost your mood.
It’s not difficult to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Barley, quinoa, millet, teff, etc are all good for helping you feel better. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods also. Feeling famished can be terrible! These grains can elevate your mood because it’s easy for your body to digest them. You digest them more quickly than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You were just waiting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this specific amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you be healthier. Now you are well aware that it helps you to elevate your moods too!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
