KALE: The King of Greens…

Try some Kale chips for a great healthy snack and oh so easy!  Bob brought home a bundle of the best looking curly kale and all I did was pick off pieces from the top, laid them out on a sheet pan, sprayed with some EVOO, salt and pepper to taste and baked them in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.  You can eat them plain or sprinkle over a salad or anything for an extra healthy crunch!

Health Benefits:

- Sulfur-containing phytonutrients may detoxify carcinogenic substances
- Shown to reduce the risk of breast, ovarian, prostate, colon and other cancers
- Rich in beta-carotene and lutein
- May prevent diseases of the skin and eyes
- Excellent source of calcium, magnesium and Vitamins A, B6, C and K
- Supports a healthy immune system

Until Monday… keep thinking of veggies and protein!
