Eat Your Greens, Sweetheart.

I don’t know about you, but to me, cold weather equates to comfort food. Cold weather hits (or in our case, lingers for eternity) and I want to crawl into a bowl of mac and cheese and stay there for awhile. A long while.

In an effort to avoid this fantasy of life in a massive bowl of warm cheese and noodles… I turn to kale. I know, I know. You’re thinking that this makes little sense. Transitioning from a bowl of heaven to KALE, of all things. Whelp, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to avoid some sort of heart failure.
My best bud gave me a secret that turns kale from yuck to yum. If you haven’t tried kale chips, you really should give it a whirl.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash kale and rip leaves off one at a time.
3. Lay kale flat on a baking sheet and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Add salt, pepper and garlic as desired.
4. Bake kale for about 15 minutes, until crisped and delicious.
5. Enjoy on their own - no utensils necessary.  :)
