Lemon garlic kale chips

Farmer’s market goodies tend to go in one day, maybe two if a larger quantity was bought. When I bought kale, I was debating between two flavours of kale chips. I settled on lemon garlic kale chips this time, but I’ll probably make the other flavour sometime soon. I’m excited for this other one. Are you excited? *suspense*
These turned out well enough that when doing groceries today, my partner asked me if I could make kale chips again tonight (the ones from this recipe were made a week ago). He doesn’t dislike veggies, but it can be difficult to get him to eat all his fruit and veggie portions for the day, so whenever he asks me for something with veggies, I make sure to make it.
All I had on hand for these was bottled lemon juice, but I’m sure fresh lemons would be ten times better.

Lemon Garlic Kale Chips

1 medium bunch green kale
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp lemon juice
salt to taste

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.

Rip the kale off the thick stems. Cut it into pieces (similar size as for salads). Sprinkle the rest of the ingredients on the leaves and mix it all together using your hands.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through.

    Pasta is definitely a comfort food for me. I often switch out pasta for veggie alternatives, but there are times when I just can’t skip the pasta. Mind you, I do eat brown rice pasta, so it’s not the worst thing in the world. At least I get my fibre and a few B vitamins…

    I had the day off on Wednesday. I spent almost the entire day cooking.

    I love a good dahl. It’s nutritious, filling, flavourful, and comes together quite easily. Plus, a homemade version costs peanuts to make. Since becoming an acupuncturist, I’ve learned to make use of red lentils when my energy is low. In Ottawa, red lentils are readily available at pretty much any grocery store. They’re particularly useful…

    At the time that I put together this recipe, I had just discovered that my digestion couldn’t tolerate sausages very well, even the gluten free ones. I had just bought sausage from a shop in the Byward Market in Ottawa that didn’t sit well. The high fat content was most likely to blame. Lower fat…

    Some typical ingredients for baking contain hidden sources of gluten, corn, and whatever else you might have food sensitivities to.

    I tried making zucchini fritters when I had a bag of ten zucchinis from Costco in the fridge. I used a recipe that I found online, but found it quite disappointing. So, I decided that I wanted a better recipe. I improvised a recipe using some of my favourite ingredients instead. These turned out quite…
