Kale Chips

I have these 3 big kale plants in my garden, my side salads a couple times a week were not making a dent in them.  I remembered hearing about cooking it up in the oven into crispy chips.  One afternoon I made a batch with my 5 year old, Brik, who loves to help in the kitchen.  Brik has been looking for something that he can make and sell like his big brother.  I told him that after we finished the first batch he would need to eat a serving to see if it tasted good because he can only sell things that are yummy :)

He agreed that it did, he has made a few batches on his own and has earned $5.  Here is his very own instructional video;

    I made kale chips and loved them, but the rest of the family would eat only a few. We do eat a lot of kale other ways, though. Here are many ideas for using kale.

    I am going to try them as a topping for soups, salads and pastas as I am not crazy about them plain.

    They taste like broccoli. Some people think they are delicious. I don't care for them as a snack by themselves. But think they are great as a seasoning on pizza and such.

It's rude to eat and run. Humor me with conversation please!
