"I forgot how good kale tastes!"

Quoted from my kid tonight at dinner.  I know ... more hip hip hooray about kale!  You're probably so tired of hearing about it if you see me around town but I just wanted to pass on a new product I found this week at Trader Joe's.  They currently have "Organic Lacinto Kale" already washed and chopped for use.  Yes, there are so many uses for kale such as sauteed kale with olive oil and garlic or stir-fried or even hidden in chicken noodle soup ... but my favorite is just plain old kale chips because the kids really do eat them!  I like this bag of kale because it is so easy to do.  The chips are definitely smaller and there are a lot of stems in the bag (I usually don't use stems), but sometimes easier is better.  Plus they are organic ... that's not always easy to find and kale is one of those that you should try to buy organic as the pesticides are high on conventional varieties. 

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, garlic  or cumin)

Preheat oven to 425 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!

Ok, done.

Lots of goodies in this one!
