Guilt Free Snacking!!

So...My secret is out, as far as my passion for tea is concerned, but until now, I've never really confessed that I am also an avid, sometimes compulsive snacker.  Guess that one's out of the hat now too, but with this post, I am waving my snacking flag proudly and guilt-free...

I'm on holidays this week, very fortunate to be able to spend Family Day Week with my kids, and I decided to take this opportunity to spend some time with them in the kitchen.  So far we have overcome my fear of pie pastry (with the help of my dear friend Jen H), decorated a kaleidescope of sugar cookies (thank you Pillsbury), made hotdog spaghetti monsters (gotta love Pinterest for that one), AND discovered a new way to bring dark leafy vegetables into my family's diet (while enjoying a guilt-free snack) - that last item is what I want to share with you here:

Baked Kale Chips with a SalTEA seasoning.



RECIPE:

1 bunch kale (stem removed) broken up into chip sized pieces, tossed in 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.
Lay out on a cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes or until edges are slightly brown, and leaves are crispy - DON'T OVER BAKE.
Remove from the oven and toss with Steeped Tea's SalTEA seasoning.

These were so yummy, they were gone before the bowls of popcorn and pretzels!!!

So yummy in fact, that my 7 year old asked if I could make up another batch for her sleepover party tonight - how crazy is that? A house full of 7 year olds eating KALE chips and watching Shark Boy & Lava Girl.
