"This doesn't even taste like it's good for you..." in response to my kale chips!

I don't usually post two blogs a night but I had to laugh when my fussy eater actually couldn't stay out of the kale chips that I just made.  I mean she is a total meat and potatoes kinda girl who now has braces that don't allow her to eat all the raw veggies she used to eat prior to the metal!

I've posted the kale chips recipe before but I had to laugh about her quote up there!  I was in Whole Foods today and was trying to be smart and not overbuy everything in the produce aisle like I usually do.  I got to the kale and had to buy it because it is one of the best veggies on Earth and they actually have the organic variety.  (See my post on dirty dozen to see why).  It costs about $3.59 per bunch which sounds like a lot but when I made these kale chips I thought about how if I had bought a bag of these chips it would have cost me around $8!  So for a few minutes of work (and seriously the olive oil was a treat for my cracked skin!) I had three cookie trays worth of chips.  NOT TOO BAD!

Again here are some benefits to eating kale:
one cup contains only 43 calories
5 grams of fiber
all the requirements for vitamins A and C for the day
134 milligrams of Calcium (that's why it's called the "heavy hitting crucifer")

Kale Chips

*1-2 bunches of kale (aka "King of Calcium and "heavy hitting crucible)
*olive oil
*sea salt or other spices you like (I use Gomasio, curry or cumin)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Remove kale from stalk, leaving the green in large pieces
Brush or use your fingers to lightly oil the kale
Put the kale on a baking sheet and bake for 4 mins. or until it starts to turn a bit brown.  Keep an eye as it can burn quickly!

Remove and serve!

Enjoy!
