My Irish Eyes are Smiling

St. Patrick's Day is the perfect time to celebrate GREEN food!    I made a few snacks to treat everyone at the office today.

- Cream of Broccoli Spinach Soup with quinoa, made with soy milk
- Kale Chips
- Zucchini Bread made with whole wheat flour, walnuts, and reduced sugar.  Applesauce and flax meal were used instead of oil.

P.S. It was all gone at the end of the day!

Kale Chips

Answer:   36 calories-worth of it contains five grams of fiber, 15 percent of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6, 40 percent of magnesium, 180 percent of vitamin A, 200 percent of vitamin C and 1,020 percent of vitamin K. And that's before we get to the copper, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus.
Question:  What would the nutrition label say for KALE?
Kale Chips
Spray kale leaves lightly with oil and dust sparingly with sea salt. (Make sure they're dry so they crisp instead of steam.)  Bake in a 275 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes.  Try other seasonings if you like.  Great as a snack or appetizer.  Serve pieces in a bowl or whole leaves standing up in a glass. Also good with spinach but bake for a shorter time.
