Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Wash and dry Kale leaves – then, separate leaves from middle vein and tear leaves into 1-2 inch pieces.  Cover a pan with parchment paper or tin foil.  Spray with a little olive oil (we have some in a squirt bottle) and drizzle with about 1 tsp salt or to taste.

Cook for 10 minutes.

EAT.

Note:  For those of you who like spice or more flavor, feel free to experiment with your favorite herbs and seasonings…and then come back here and let us know what you experimented with and how they turned out!

This is a great recipe INSTEAD of potato chips!!

We’re on our way to healthier eating.  It’s a journey…

I know better than to jump in at full force ALL. AT. ONCE.

Some of you have been keeping up with the ongoing conversation over HERE.  (For those of you who haven’t been to my site’s FB page yet, go!  Lots of great extras that I don’t put up on here!)

I love that it’s not just me wanting to do better!  So, many of us have chosen to accept the MISSION of more wholesome eating.

Here’s what we have covered so far:

MISSION #4: Choose 100% WHOLE WHEAT products (with no high fructose corn syrup)… so… breads, tortillas, buns, etc. UNLESS YOU ARE GLUTEN-SENSITIVE!!

(and a recap)

Mission#3: Nix the veggie and canola oil for coconut and virgin olive oil (see mission 3′s post for complete list)

Mission #2: butter instead of margarine

Mission #1: no soda!

(Complete missions are listed on the FB page with more info!)

And then, I found some really awesome links!

• The dirty dozen and clean 15 list (Top things to buy organic and the things that don’t matter quite as much…great for stretching your budget!) HERE
• Voting with your dollars…how much organic really costs HERE
• List of healthy breads HERE
• The truth about nasty dyes HERE and HERE

There’s so much more on the Facebook page, I’d love to have you join the conversation!  See you there!
