Yummy Kale "Chips"
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash and tear kale into smallish pieces.
Get a little vegetable oil on it.
Sprinkle salt on it (I like more rather than less).
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
These are better than potato chips! And oh so easy. I think I'll try this on bok choy tomorrow. We're getting *tons* of greens again in our CSA share.
Speaking of CSA shares, when I got my blood work done in early August, everything (including blood iron levels) had improved since the beginning of my pregnancy and I had an awesome glycemic response. I hadn't actively worked on improving anything, but the midwives told me to continue whatever I was doing. Maybe that's what happens when you drastically increase your weekly intake of vegetables because someone else decides how many you "need."

Hi Emily!! Glad I could find your new blog... are you guys still in Princeton?? Sounds like you are expecting another kiddo... congratulations! :)
I'm always trying to figure out ways to make kale and other greens yummy tasting--i'll have to try that. they must come out really thin, right? i would think they would just stick to the metal pan.
I tried making fruit leather once but it wold not dry, i repeated the instructions over and over with no drying in sight until finally the puree burnt to the pan. ;P
Ellie - I think the oil on the kale keeps it from sticking to the pan. They sort of curl up away fromt he pan as they cook. You could also try using cooking paper on the pan if you are worried. They come out about the consistency of dried seaweed.
