Home Made Kale Chips.... And some exciting news!

So I know I've kind of been MIA here lately..... Things have been so crazy!  I've recently decided to go ahead and work on getting my Personal Trainer certification and make a major career move!  I'm super excited, but kind of nervous at the same time!  I think my experiences will help me in this field, but at the same time, sometimes I have moments of self doubt (don't we all?)  So now I am still working my full time job (not for much longer) - working at my amazing gym part time - and studying for certification!  Whew.  it's crazy!  But it's all totally worth it!!
 
 
My lovely friend Jamesa shared with me how to make kale chips yesterday.... so I stopped, got some kale, and put the oven to good use.  They are super easy, and super tasty.  You can actually flavor them however you want -- I think cumin and cayenne pepper would be good too, but I used garlic when I made them yesterday. 
 
You'll need:
kale, pulled off the stem
olive oil
salt (I used salt substitute)
seasnoning of choice (I used garlic powder)
 
Preheat oven to 350.
Toss kale in olive oil so it's lightly coated.  I used my Misto to spray/coat but not go too heavy with it. 
Line baking sheet with aluminum foil - Place kale on baking sheet in single layer. 
Bake 12 minutes.
Sprinkle with seasonings & salt, to taste.
 
Enjoy!
