Food Alert: KALE!

!!!

       After finding this wonderful list of the 20 healthiest foods under a buck on Divine Caroline:http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/33WHgi/www.divinecaroline.com/22177/52070-twenty-healthiest-foods-1/print I knew that it was time for me to experiment with cooking Kale. However, I had no idea that it would be such a success! So here's the thing~ Kale is actually really delicious.

      It also just so happens to have many health benefits including a few minor things such as: aids in Digestion, full of Antioxidants, it's an Anti-Inflammatory, helps COMBAT CANCER?!, Cardiovascular support, (am I boring you yet?), Detox, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C. Yeah. You should definitely give Kale a chance. I know it's green but it's totally harmless! It's also in season!

Just to prove that Kale can be wonderful I made some baked kale chips for the office today and well, just see for yourself...

That's happiness if I've ever seen it! (from left: Peej, Karl, & Jon)

This is so easy! All you need is:

• 1 bunch of kale
• some olive oil
• a baking pan 
• your chosen spices

I used a bit of greek seasoning. Then you just bake the kale in the oven on 425 F for about 15 minutes. You want it to be crispy but not burnt.

This is the best and most perfect snack & speaking of snacks...

There will be SNACKS!,
