I am addicted and I'm not ashamed to say it!  For almost a year I've been trying to get around to making a recipe for Kale Chips that my mom gave me.  Either, I would forget or Kale would be out of season.  Well, this week I finally did it and boy am I addicted.  I've made them everyday since and am getting ready to go outside to pick more Kale to make some again today.  It is so easy and so nutritious and wonderfully tasty.  My six and eight year olds and I were scrambling for them as soon as they came out of the oven.  It was a real hit with my husband also.  Now, I must confess that we, all of us, are big greens lovers.  We crave them!  But someone (kids or adults) who doesn't really care for cooked greens, might be pleasantly surprised to find out that eating your greens could taste so good. 

All you need to do is:
Pick your own kale (or buy some at the store).


Wash about 1/2 pound of curly kale (ribs removed) dried well and torn into 2-3 inch pieces.


Toss the leaves in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt (I would like to experiment with a little garlic or cayenne also) and put on a cooling rack that is placed on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes or until totally dried and yet still bright green.



Enjoy!
