Kale Chips

We went to the OSU-OKC farmer's market on Saturday with my nieces and picked up some veggies for the week. We enjoy baby spinach salad, and the stall that was selling bags of baby spinach also had kale and radishes that we bought. We've never had kale and the fellow who sold them suggested we try kale chips. So, here we go.

Second batch of kale chips
Odd thing I ate: Kale chips. I used olive oil and ranch popcorn seasoning (it also said it was good for veggies/fish/meat etc). It had a mineral-y taste I understand is common with greens. The first bite tasted like a potato chip, but a whole batch tasted, well, green. We have enough to make another batch, but I don't know that I'm going to buy kale again anytime soon.
The second batch I used olive oil pam on the pan and on the top I used lemon infused olive oil and the ranch seasoning. It was still not my favorite food.

    Not technically, but essentially. They are Kim's girls and they call me their aunt. I treat them the same as I would my "real" nieces.

    I concur. The first few tasted like potato chips, then they tasted like baked kale leaves.

Houston: Mostly Asian Inspired Road Trip Food

I apologize for how long it took to get this out. There are lots of pics that I had trouble getting moved over, along with starting a new job and the things that go along with working in education. But here's the Houston post I promised so long ago. Recently (like 2 months ago) John and I took a trip....down to Houston...in July. It was a very quick trip to go watch some people I like on YouTube who were doing a US/Canada tour, and it was my birthday present. Obviously the 15 hours we were going to be in the car required snacks, as we don't often like big meals when we are traveling. I didn't think to do some of this until the way back, so there are not so many pics of the snacks. Mexican Vanilla is essential in my family. Homemade teriyaki beef jerky (that I made with my mom) This was not at all as I expected. Since the people we were watching live in South Korea (even though they are Canadian) and we were staying in the middle of Chinatown in Houston, I

Natural Food Stores Part 2

I know, I know...I am horribly late writing this post. I'm sorry. My current New Year's Resolution is to write more often. Okay, now that's taken care of... Let's turn our subject to milk. I will start out by saying I love cow's milk. I have tried all types of cow's milk from raw to ultra skim. I prefer Braum's lowfat milk. I am okay with raw milk if it has chocolate. I do not like soy milk much. I just don't like the taste, and I have more than enough estrogen without adding xeno-estrogen or whatever it's called. We hadn't really tried other milks other than soy, but there is such as large selection at the fancy natural/health food stores we currently frequent that we had to try them out. John's lactose-intolerant, so it works out well. He can drink these milks without taking any sort of pill. What we drank: A variety of non-dairy "milks" What we thought: Soymilk seems to be most popular. It's okay in a pinch, but if I d
