Baked Kale!

Here is a yummy, healthy snack idea!  Baked Kale!  It was the best 49 cents I've EVER spent! 

I have been hearing about Kale for a while now and just got around to trying it.  I still want to try it in a salad, and maybe in scrambled eggs and a few other things but I enjoyed it baked!  It reminds me of spinach, not much of a flavor.  But baked, so yummy!

I bought it at our local farmers market grocery store and I got a huge bundle of it for 49 cents.  Then I washed good.  

And tore it into little pieces 

Poured a little olive oil over it

A little salt

Threw it in the oven for about 13 minutes

And....

TA DA!

Baked Kale!  I chose to eat them plain, but I think they would be really good with something, I'm not sure what yet but they need something.  I also baked them a little too long and a few on the edges tasted burnt. 

I'm excited to find new ways to eat this amazing fat fighting, antioxidant, vitamin filled veggie!  

Fall day?

I live in Michigan, our weather is crazy!  It changes all the time!  24 hours ago I was wearing shorts it was so warm, and now it's snowing!  It's insane!  

Last week, we had a warm spell and got a few 50-60 degree days!  So, we took full advantage of some fresh air and sunshine and took a walk to the park!  This time I took my dslr.  I have been wanting to capture the boys playing in the park for a while now.  It amazes me how much these boys love to be outside!  They are park junkies!  It's pretty awesome and keeps them busy and happy for a long time!  I enjoyed capturing them in their happy place!

He had a blast playing run from the camera so I captured lots of sweet laughs and smiles as he tried to run away!

Climbing, his happy place!  I got lots of sweet smiles from him too!

He loves the park all the more now that he can walk!

And of course we had to have fun with the shutter remote!

Check out that static hair!!

Hopefully this is warming to look at as we sit in our warm houses while it's snowing and blowing outside.  I think, it's safe to say, it's officially fall and nearly winter!  I'm so excited I captured one last fall day at the park with these kiddos before the cold!
