I know its been a while, but I am still here – somebody tell life to slow down a bit?!?

After starting a new position at work and moving, I decided it was time for a long overdue stay-cation!  I plan on cooking and baking this weekend!

Right now I’m spending some time in the backyard enjoying the sun with some tasty treats to help me celebrate some days of rest.  Not having people over for dinner or baking for an event is no excuse not to have beautiful food for yourself.

I love treating myself.  I think everyone should make that a goal for their weekend…  🙂

I’m enjoying pluots, sourdough bread, brie cheese, and a tiny bit of babaganoush – I plan on eating a lot of veggies tonight to make up for this indulgence. 😉

So, I’ve been hearing about Kale for several months now, but haven’t really had a huge interest to give it a shot.  That all changed when I was at an event for work and kale was part of the main dish.  I’ll admit, I was stunned at how delicious it was!

After that evening, it got me to thinking about doing something with kale, but I wasn’t sure what.  I recently came across a recipe on one of my favorite blogs, Smitten Kitchen, for Kale Chips.  Even after having a great first experience trying kale, I was still a bit worried.  However, I am happy to report that after my first bite, I literally said out loud in my kitchen…”I will probably never buy potato chips again!”.  If you know me, this is a big statement.

This recipe is extremely easy and quick…you must try it and let me know what you think!

Enjoy!
