The spirit is willing but...

Discovery #2...and up

My foray into the world of kale chips, roasted chick peas, and quinoa has brought about some interesting discoveries. More than just how awesome kale chips are. I'll share:

1. The more veggies you eat, the more veggies you have to eat.
2. Asparagus makes you pee more. It also makes your pee smell weird. (I'm not the only one. Trust me.)
3. Eating more vegetables enhances your sense of smell. Or at least, it allows me to distinguish between smells better now that my olfactory senses are not clogged with fat and meat.
4. Sesame oil makes everything better. It also makes your clothes stink.
5. Bloating after eating does not mean you're full. It means you've been eating unhealthy food all your life.
6. More veggies, more tea, and no coffee makes my skin nice. Ahhh, nice skin.
7. I really can live without coffee.
8. Any vegetable can taste good, provided you use enough sauce.
9. Any vegetable can taste good, once you get rid of the sauce.
10. Sharing tasty veggies introduces others to the wonders of yummy veggies. Veggies = not scary.

Here's a yummy veggie recipe à la www.vegansociety.com. Check it out.

Discovery #1

I'm on a journey. One that includes kale chips and curry roasted chick peas. And sea salt edamame.

All of which you should try. Specifically the kale chips. Easy to make and ridiculously nutritious, these are surprisingly delicious, crispy-crunchy snacks that go down the tube far better than they have right to.

It's easy. Get a head of kale from your grocery store. Wash, stem, and dry them well. Rip them up into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in olive oil and only a little sea salt (as they are naturally salty) and lay them on a baking tray. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until they move freely on the pan when you shake it. You may need to turn them over at the 5 min mark. Consume. Repeat process because you're shocked at how good this rabbit food actually is.

In the two times I've made it, I've eaten them right out of the pan because I am so amazed at how good they are. Yeah. They're that yummy.

You're welcome.
