Hughes will undoubtedly remember the chocolate chip cookies I make. Countless batches have graced the oven, countless batches will go to his classroom treat days, and he will come home from college just to have some chocolate chip cookies. But Jettie, she's always been a bit different and I love that about her. She will ask for my Kale Chips after a rough day in preschool. We will make them as late night snacks through her high school years. She will have conversations with Hughes years after I've passed, "you remember Mom's kale chips!"
Yes, these are the things I think about. Leave me alone:)
And if you don't believe me about Jettie's love of Kale Chips. Evidence.
There is way more where that came from but let's start off with the simple recipe.
1 bunch of Kale
1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 fresh Black Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 and wash Kale
Separate stems from leaves and break apart into chip size.
Place everything in a bowl and toss. Put leaves in one layer on baking sheet. Bake around 10 minutes or when the middle starts to get toasty and the leaves turn dark. You're kitchen will start to smell like popcorn.
Promptly remove from oven and place chips in a bowl. Demonstrating the perfect color is the below chip removed from bowl for speculation.
Jettie spots perfect chip and devours.
Jettie you have something right...there.

Love this. She would get along well with my son who prefers dark/green/leafy over about anything. :) I am going to have to try this recipe!
(01.04.11 @ 06:08 PM)I'm a fan of all foods healthy, leafy, and green. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Clary! :)
(01.04.11 @ 06:17 PM)How cute! I am sooo excited to make these chips! My family loves the flash fried spinach a lot of restaurants serve but can't seem to replicate it at home...this sounds delicious!
(01.04.11 @ 06:22 PM)You have the most beautiful daughter EVER. You make cute babies! Much Love!
(01.04.11 @ 06:28 PM)She is just the cutest darn thing ever!
(01.04.11 @ 07:59 PM)If this is anything like flash-fried spinach, I will looooove it. Definitely adding this recipe to my arsenal! Jettie gets more darling every time we see her here! Those blue eyes!

(01.04.11 @ 09:29 PM)I can't wait to make Kale Chips for my girlies...they are big veggie lovers. And Jettie is just so darn cute!
(01.04.11 @ 10:13 PM)She's such a gorgeous little girl. Glad to see she's eating her greens! What a great idea, I must try it out.
(01.05.11 @ 11:30 AM)It is so good to know that I'm not the only one with "kale chip loving kids"! We started our healthy eating journey when our son was diagnosed with autism almost four years ago. Today, after tons of therapy and healthy eating (tons of organic kale chips), he is recovered!
(01.05.11 @ 12:12 PM)P.S. We are also dairy free and my kids like the Daiya cheese so sometimes I sprinkle of little of it on top of the kale.
(01.05.11 @ 12:15 PM)Jettie is so pretty. Trav is in so much trouble. I'm going to try this Kale chips recipe tonight!
(01.05.11 @ 05:31 PM)Such a sweet sweet baby!! She's got the cutest little bootie!!!
(01.05.11 @ 09:23 PM)Too, too cute! We love kale chips at our house, too...good stuff! They go so quickly, though and you have to eat them pretty much right away (they don't last overnight!). Jettie is adorable...and how fun that you think about "signature" dishes that you can make that the kiddos will like forever.
(01.05.11 @ 10:07 PM)Clary! I love your personal posts because your family is just the sweetest. Keep them coming! And I have never heard of Kale chips but I am going to make some now!
(01.07.11 @ 01:59 PM)She is such an adorable girl! It makes me excited for kids...down the road of course!! =)
(01.10.11 @ 12:01 PM)Yum! I make mine the same way, but I add fresh lemon juice and parmigiana at the end!
(01.11.11 @ 03:51 PM)ditto to all the comments on your gorgeous girl, and the yummy recipe!
(01.11.11 @ 05:20 PM)Totally going to try this. Neil was just reading about kale being a superfood or something...so this will be tried. Will let you know if I did like!!
(01.20.11 @ 08:39 PM)Oh yum!!! That actually sounds really good. And she is just adorable devouring them!
(02.03.11 @ 02:54 PM)You have got MAD skills, girl! This is awesome and ridiculously cute! I can't wait to see your photos from the FIND workshop!
(02.10.11 @ 01:57 PM)i now have this page bookmarked even though i've got the recipe memorized because i CANNOT get enough of these. sometimes, they don't even make it from the sheet to the bowl... i might be able to eat an entire baking sheet by myself.
