Juice of the Day – 2/12/11

Today’s juice was not a big success for me.  I drank it for the vitamins, but I didn’t like it.

1 handful kale
2 stalks celery
1/2 cucumber
2 carrots
1/2 beet

I think it needed less cucumber or more beet, or something to perk it up a little.  Back to the drawing board on this one.  Maybe I should read any one of the 50-60 recipes that I have 🙂

Baked Kale Chips

Wondering what to do with all of that end-of-season kale?  Well, here is an easy fun recipe that even my picky 12 year old likes.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional – if you have a seasoned baking stone, you don’t need it)
  • sea salt
  • pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F.  If you are not using a seasoned baking stone, you might want to use some parchment paper on your pan.
  2. Wash and dry kale and cut into potato chip sized pieces.
  3. Toss with olive oil if needed.
  4. Place on the baking pan in a single layer, adding ground sea salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bake until they dry out and become chip-like.

Low cal, salty, and tastes like eating something naughty!
