Comfort Food + {Garlic Kale Chips}

Not gonna lie... I'm enjoying some good ol' comfort food tonight.  And no, I don't consider kale chips comfort food!!  We're talking about a crunchy peanut butter and honey sandwich with a small glass of milk.  So delicious. And totally hits the spot when I'm craving something sweet, salty, and like a bear-hug-on-a-plate. It's been a rough couple of days.  The short of it is...we're still moving in 14 days.  Everything is in boxes, thanks to my generous mom...but the mountain dream home is no longer. It's a long story that I'm not quite ready to go into, with the full gamut of emotions - sadness, anger, disappointment, bewilderment, thankfulness, and a huge sigh of relief all squished into one.

For now, I'll focus on what I know best: creating yummy healthy recipes that are low in sugar.

Introducing: {Garlic Kale Chips}

Incredibly high in magnesium, calcium, and vitamins A, C, & K, these chips deliver a heavy nutritional punch.

They're light, airy, and flavorful.  What a fun way to get your greens!!

Or you could try my Honey Mustard Kale Chips, if you're in the mood for something sweeter.

Awwa.. Kelly. I'm so sorry to hear that. Hoping you find somewhere even better soon!

Kale chips are SO good! If I had the time, I'd eat them for a snack every day. Gotta love a healthy snack option!

Kelly,
I feel so bad about your mountain home, but if it's any consolation, God must have something much better in store for you!
I love your post, - you're looking great and I'm sure feeling great too - and I appreciate that you're trying to take favorite foods and providing recipes to make them much healthier! I try to do that but the recipes don't always work quite the way I planned :-)
If you would be interested, I have a recipe I got from one of our health food stores for candy using raw cacao powder, agave nectar, coconut sugar, coconut oil, nuts and gogi berries - all very healthy products for you - and 1 piece satisfies! I'm a huge chocolate-lover and this is great stuff if you like dark chocolate.

I need nooch. That's what mine were missing.

What a cool idea: make chips from kale!
