It has been a while since we have attempted to make kale chips. We had an abundance of kale so I decided to take a stab at it.
I loosely followed this recipe.
They were crunchy fun but only lasted a few minutes. I guess next time larger batches are needed.
Note: Check on your kale while it is cooking, mine only required 25 minutes to be fully crunchy.

What is for dinner?
Zucchini Frittata
I made a very low carb breakfast the other morning. The zucchini frittata recipe that I used was adapted from the Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook. This book was the basis that my husband used when he went on a candida cleanse a couple of years ago. Consequently he was cured of many of his allergies.
4 large eggs beaten until foamy
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (from garden)
1 tsp finely chopped dill weed (from garden)
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp sea salt
couple dashes cayenne
2 cups grated zucchini (slightly drained of juice)
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives (from garden)
1 tsp oil (olive oil) or butter
Pre-heat broiler in oven. Melt butter or oil in cast iron skillet (or high heat pan) on burner on medium heat. Mix all ingredients in bowl. Pour egg mixture in pan. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. When it is browned underneath place the pan in the oven on broil and let cook for 2-5 minutes or until fully cooked or dry and firm on top.
I served it with homemade yogurt topping.
1 cup plain yogurt (used fat-free but low-fat is recommended as well)
1 tbsp chopped dill
1/2 tsp garlic powder
It was a nice protein filled breakfast.
Sweet and Savory Acorn Squash
I made an awesome sweet and savory acorn squash from a recipe that I found on the internet. On the sweet half I omitted the brown sugar and star anise. The butter gives it the comfort food feel that will want you coming back for more; but leave it out if you want to reduce the calories a bit.
Sometimes we do eat at home
This post is part of a new series I am creating for those who think that we eat out all the time. I love food and I love trying new things. I do convince my husband to go out quite a bit but we do tend to cook at home frequently. Our meals tend to be more from scratch than packaged type meals.
Here are some pics from recent meals.
