First Snow + {Honey Mustard Kale Chips}

Posted: October 25, 2012

Would you believe me if I told you it snowed inches upon inches last night in Denver and that Babycakes and I went sledding this morning?! Some of you probably woke up to nice 80 degree weather. Us, not so much. But, it was the first ever workday snow that I didn't have to commute in, and let me tell you...it was soooooooooo nice to be able to stay in, look at the pretty snow, enjoy some warm maple oatmeal, and think about sledding once the sun warmed things up a bit!  I pulled Babyckes around the field by our house. She had a blast, and I blasted some calories!!!

It was perfect.

Then we came in for some leftover sweet potato fettuccini, and we whipped up some new kale chips.

Introducing: {Honey Mustard Kale Chips}

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

Here they are prepped and ready for the oven, the honey glistening off each leaf.

They're light, sweet, crunchy, and soooooooooo good for you!

Or try my Garlic Kale Chips if you're not in the mood for sweet!

I love the honey - mustard flavor combination. Great idea to use it on kale chips!

My 16 month old LOVES when I make him kale chips, but I normally only do garlic or pepper ones. I'll have to try these! Thank you!

I have only recently tried kale, immediately fell in love! I want to try kale chips and was wondering what is the shelf life? I know, it seems they wouldn't last no time, but I would love to make a bunch up on my day off to eat through out the week. Can they be stored in containers in the pantry or should it be stored in the fridge?
Thanks
Kim

I'm not sure the shelf life, because I usually eat the whole tray!!! haha. I would imagine they'd stay ok for a couple of days in the fridge.

Aw, she looks so happy in that snow. :) A true Colorado girl!
I could eat kale all day long (and maybe I should instead of chocolate chips!)

I just found your blog - love it and have reposted the link to my workmates' wellness Facebook page. I wanted to ask if you ever use a dehydrator rather than the oven for things like kale chips? I understood that the heat of an oven even at it's lowest setting destroys nutrients but that a dehydrator doesn't.

I haven't ever used a dehydrator, but it sounds interesting!

isn't there more nutrition in the kale if juiced rather than made into chips? I always thought that once cooked that most of the nutrition is taken out. Sounds tasty though
