Kale

Some may call it 'your new friend with benefits' others call it the cardboardy-like lettuce, either way, KALE is the new potato chip!!!

Cut off the stems, spritz a little oil, and season to taste. That's all it takes to turn this leafy, well structured green into a crispy delight. Pop 'em in the oven at 375-400 degrees and make sure your socks are on tight, because they are about to be blown...right off!!

You will never go back to potato chips again. Aside from the super convenient and inexpensive ways of Lays or Tostitos, Kale chips totally win in the snack food competition of life!

Oh ya, and kale was a key player in the Dig for Victory Campaign. What is the 'Dig for Victory Campaign' you may ask... Well apparently, during WWII gardens were planted in private residence to reduce the pressure on public food sources. Kale, along with other nutrient over-achievers, were grown and harvested and given to those in need. These gardens also provided the garden people (not the gnomes, the actual people) with a sense of purpose. Go Kale!!
