Who Knew?

Kale chips.  You know, that green stuff in the Zuppa Tuscana at Olive Garden?  It's a green leafy vegetable, similar to spinach, and OH so good for you.  My daughter Brittany mentioned to me that she was eating it every day in the form of chips.  Whatever.  How weird is that? I kind of let that in one ear and out the other. Then one day while surfing I came across a food blog where the author mentioned how much she likes to eat kale.  Here it was again.  Only she ate it boiled.  Then I remembered that Britt had said something about eating kale.  So I called her, and I Googled it.  Who knew that there was this secret underworld society of kale chip munchers out there?  Who would believe that a green leafy plant like kale would get crispy in the oven and actually taste tood??  Well, I am here to tell you that it does!  It's kinda crazy, but it really does. Here's a link to a recipe I found.  I also sprinkled them with a little parmesan cheese for extra flavor. Use any of your favorite seasonings.  And then I tried potatoes!  They were awesome :)  Next I will do sweet potatoes.  The world is my oyster.  Or my kale.
