Kale Chips

That is kale.  I tore it apart and coated it with a mixture that I made from this recipe.  If you're going to pig out on something, dehydrated kale chips don't seem like such an evil indulgence .  So indulge I did, I mean to say that I was downright greedy about these little chips.  They are just so yummy.  Crunchy, salty, and all cheesy-like.  Just: mmmm.

I made some in the oven before with a straighter kind of kale, but I think this curly stuff is so much better.  This is my first time using a dehydrator.  Cheers to that!  I plan to dry all sorts of goodies this year.  I'm already fantasizing about blueberries. Today I dried some lemon peels just to experiment and am attempting a raw 'cracker,' that some friends got me hooked on.  The supply they gave us has been depleted and I just. want. more.  It's too perfect, it's like eating carb-y bread or crackers but it's made out of raw vegetables, fruit and seeds.  Wait.  Yep.  That's what I meant to say.  They make me feel good to eat them, and it's not the kind of 'hooked' where you have withdrawal either; as some people (ahem) may or may not have experienced with bread.
