Snack Time: Kale Chips

Mr. S and I went out last night to celebrate my birthday. There was a little too much tequila involved, I'm not going to deny it.

So here I am, guzzling water bottles and craving a salty snack. I'm craving that greasy hangover food!

Instead of running through the drive through and grabbing some greasy fries or scarfing a bag of potato chips, I'm making my own healthy alternative to get me back on track. I'm making kale chips!

Recipe below!

Ingredients:
 1 bunch kale
 1 TBSP olive oil
 1 tsp seasoned salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. With a knife or kitchen shears, remove the leaves from teh thick stem and tear into bite sized pieces. Washe and thuroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt

 3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, about 10-15 minutes.

Sweet Snack: "Fried" Honey Bananas

I have the day off today and so does Mr. S. We've been intermittently getting chores done around the house and lounging with our dogs on the couch. It's been a really nice, relaxing day. It's almost 3pm though, and I'm craving a sweet pick me up before my workout. Enter, "fried" honey bananas. Yum!

Ingredients:
1 firm banana, sliced evenly
1 TBSP honey
coconut or olive oil
Dash cinnamon (if desired)


Directions:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle a small amount of oil in pan.
Place bananas in pan and cook for around 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
While the bananas are cooking, dilute the honey with a TBSP water, to thin it.
Remove pan from heat and drizzle with honey mixture
Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired
