I made kale chips yesterday. Yes, I am aware that is crazy talk in my world, but after our huge
chickpea success I was feeling overconfident. Jack (my all-time pickiest eater) has been so much more open to trying new foods lately. He doesn't always like them, but he's at least been trying them with an open mind (huge progress by the way), so I've been trying to introduce some new things when I can. I've read a bunch of blogs from kale chip lovers, but when
Michelle said her two veggie haters loved them, I was sold.
Off to the store we went. The heaping bowl of kale shown above cost just $1...not bad, right? I followed
this recipe from
Pip & Ebby and it was super easy...olive oil, baking pan, salt, done! I'm going to show their after pic too (because it's so pretty & mine was not).
EJ took the first taste and fell in love. As my most adventurous eater, I am not surprised. She had more with dinner and she is taking a bunch of them to school tomorrow to share with her friends.
Jack tried it and said he liked it. However he didn't ask for more. At dinner he did ask for a few more, but he also said that he could tell it was healthy. Baby steps...
And this is the face I got when I asked my little diva if she'd like to try one. It was green and crunchy and she didn't want any part of it.
Matt & I both liked them. Matt echoed Jack's "healthy" comment. I like the salt too much and therefore am sending them to school with EJ so I don't continue to eat them all day tomorrow. I'd say this recipe will be made again, but not as often as we'll make the chickpeas.
