Last night, I made something I’ve been meaning to make for a while. We had a HUGE bag of Kale and I knew I had to use it soon or it would all go bad. Unfortunately, I was all out of salad materials, so I wasn’t eating it (I was also a little saladed out). I went to trusty Google to find some recipes. I ended up making Kale Chips. VERY easy and mostly tasty. My only complaint was the bitter aftertaste. The next time I make it, I think I’ll add a little honey to counter that.

So, you just put oil and apple cider vinegar in a bowl, whisk to mix.

Mix in Kale until it’s coated.

Lay the kale out a cooking sheet…the recipe I found said to put it on parchment paper, but I just coated the pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle salt over kale.

Cook about 10-15 minutes at 400, until crispy. I think I over cooked the first batch and the second was just a little under. It will take a bit of testing to figure out the best cooking time.

It doesn’t look pretty, but we ate all of it….last night….go us for making food last!

Tonight, I went crazy at the store….just crazy. A ton of veggies, frozen fruit, fresh fruit, tuna, canned veggies, beans. Whew! I spent way more than I’d like, but I think it will last a while (minus fresh stuff). I mostly went crazy because we’ve been getting tired of the same thing….salads for me, tuna for both, and peanut butter sandwiches for Bret. So tired of it! I was so thankful for “past Jennilyn” who Pinned a few great recipes on my Foods to Try board…I ended up trying the Tomato-Basil Parmesan Soup. It took a long time to make….but I was busy cutting up other veggies and cooking other things while it was simmering.

Here’s the finished product!

Whew! You should have seen my kitchen last night! Thankful for a hubby who does the dishes! 🙂
