Crispy Rainbow Kale Chips

I was craving something crispy and crunchy tonight and am trying to stay away from carbs so I decided to make some crispy kale chips.

I usually buy just green organic kale as that is what I’ve normally seen used in most recipes I find on the internet. This time, I already had a bag of organic rainbow kale I’d purchased earlier in the week. This bag, which I found at Walmart of all places, has three types of organic kale: green, red and dinosaur (flat kale). I thought I would try this and see how it works. My kale chips were deliciously nutty flavored and totally hit the spot! And, my kids practically devoured them before I could get some for myself so I had to make a second batch!

A gratitude tree is the perfect way to express what you are thankful for. Have the kids help by cutting out the leaves. You can either use a picture of a tree like shown below or use some branches and make a small tree with them.

Dessert Recipes for Summer: Tofu and Berry Popsicles

It’s hard to argue that the best summertime treat is an ice cold popsicle. When the mercury rises, people flock to the nearest ice cream trucks to treat themselves to this summer staple. Even though ice pops are a sweet treat, the store-bought varieties can be full of high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors and flavors. Instead, try celebrity chefs Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos’ Tofu and Berry Popsicles for a refreshing and delicious dessert!
