You know how sometimes you just want something salty and crunchy, but healthy as well. The grocery store is full of "stuff" that fits the salty and crunchy part, but there is almost nothing that fits under the healthy category. I don't want to fill my body with trans fat, carcinogenic, calorie laden foods, but I still crave the crunch and salt, so when I found the following recipe, I was so excited to try it. Oh my goodness, these Kale chips are so good, easy to make and yes, they are very healthy. Another way to get healthy, good tasting vegetables into your diet, and to top it off, Kale is one of the very best foods you can eat. Check out this link on some of the benefits of eating kale.
