ast night I tried kale "chips" for the first time!
These things are quite popular in the blogosphere, believe it or not.
Kale "Chips"
- Rinse and dry kale leaves
- Spray with olive oil
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350 F
- Dip in ketchup
The texture was unexpectedly crunchy, and they made an annoying sound when I ate them (hubby was sure to inform me of this - hehe). The aftertaste was potato-chip like, but they have a different sort of flavour that is hard to explain.
I also had an organic grapefruit. So good.
Breakfast this morning was a bowl of Maple Walnut Oats (toppings included maple flakes, walnuts, and a spoonful of almond butter for extra protein).
I was at a Middle Years' Teacher's Conference this afternoon, and they gave us lunch. I had an egg salad sandwich.
There was no other food, and I was haaaaaaaaangry when I got home. I devoured a piece of cheese, a spoonful of PB, and these snap peas:
Dinner was one of the meals from the BIG Cook that I did a while back - Chicken Chow Mein.
I am going to grab myself a little fruit and veggie plate and then watch some TV with the hubby :-) I was hoping to start training for my 5k today, but the winds are BRUTAL. Hopefully tomorrow will be nicer, because I am eager to get my running shoes on!!!!!

I do want to try kale chips...Im just nervous. But I cant hate it till I try it right? Btw, totally had my first grapefruit today and it was glorious! I wish I had a juicer though...I just love the juice from them so much! I can only imagine the combinations...
I haven't tried kale yet although like you said it's everywhere in blogland. To answer your question on my blog here's what Wiki had to say :-)
A scroll saw is a small electric or pedal operated saw useful for cutting intricate curves where a jigsaw or coping saw is not appropriate; it is capable of creating curves with edges. It is somewhat similar to a band saw, but unlike band saws, in which the saw blade is a continuous loop, scroll saws use saw blades similar to those used by coping saws and operate through a quick reciprocating up and down motion.
i have tried kale chips, and they're not too bad... but i'm not the biggest fan of kale on its own (salad and things like that).
I made kale chips for the first time a week or so ago. I really liked them! Added a nice crunch to my meal!
never heard of the kale chips and i couldn't really tell if you liked them or not :)
lol i love kale chips but yes they do make weird noises!! i actually don't spray with olive oil, i lightly mist with apple cider vinegar and it turns out really great!
I haven't tried kale chips yet so it's good to hear your thoughts!
I've never had kale, but I really want to try kale chips. Something keeps holding me back though.
I've never made the kale chips before. I've been putting kale in my green smoothies and sometimes I cook it with onions but I'm not a huge fan of the texture.
I've never tried kale chips. I imagine they just end up being salty and sweet from the ketchup. But I think you'd get that from roasting any veggie and dipping it in ketchup. I'll have to give them a shot. They are such a phenomenon!
I love your maple walnut oatmeal. Maple walnut is one of my favorite ice cream flavors so I bet this is delicious!
I don't really care for kale chips all that much, but I love kale in soups.
I have seen kale chips all over the blog world too but haven't tried them yet.
I really do like kale in green drinks and every other way I've cooked it (sauteed with garlic, lemon, pine nuts - chopped into curries or stirfrys - or pretty much any sauce) though so I must give these a try.
I love Kale chips...yumm!
Jolene, please come by and see me I have a surprise for you!

I love me some kale chips!!
Do you think you'll make them again!!!
I made a batch of Kale Chips for the first time earlier this week. I tossed the kale in olive oil and sea salt and they turned out great, especially dipped in a bit of ketchup.
i haven't tried Kale yet, i definitely have noticed it's pretty popular amongst health bloggers, but i'm not sure if i'll like it.. but i'm open to one day trying.. :-)
Yummy! You know what, my husband and I were planning to move to sackachewan 2 years ago. Nice blog. If you have time could you check out my blog. I could use an ear in the matter. http://www.simplelivingforall.blogspot.com
