I'm going to be honest here, I have never liked kale, in any form. I've never like it in salads, chips, you name it, bleh, I hated it. When we first stated paleo, everyone told us that kale was an essential part because it was a great snack. Well, I found that I'd rather eat nothing than eat kale, but my sweet, sweet husband loves kale chips. But have you ever seen the bags they sell at the grocery store? There are like 9 pieces of kale in the bag and it costs like $45. It's absurd. So, I figured I would tap into my domestic side and bake some kale chips for my husband.

I searched and searched until I found what looked like a decent recipe to me. I found 3 different recipes and put them together and to my huge surprise the chips were actually pretty delicious! Now don't think this means I'm going to become a kale loving paleo eater, but it definitely opened my mind to more kale possibilities. Now, I had to watch some youtube videos to figure out how to prepare kale, aka taking the stalk out ect, so if you have any suggestions or ideas, I would love your advice! Or if you have any other delicious kale recipes you think a non-kale lover would enjoy, please share! Without further ado, the recipe. Enjoy peeps!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 bunch kale leaves
• 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper 

How to Make:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 
2. Remove the kale leaves from the stems and tear into pieces. Wash the leaves and dry! Make sure the leaves are very dry or else they will get soggy. 
3. Put the kale in a large bowl. 
4. Massage the olive oil in to leaves, make sure it gets in all the cracks. 
5. Sprinkle the seasoning on and massage that it nice and good. 
6. Spread the kale out on a baking sheet. Make sure its just one layer or it won't cook evenly. 
7. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the kale around, move it around and put it back in for another 10 minutes. 
8. Enjoy! 

Today my best friend marries her best friend. I know, I'm on a sappy love high, I got married two weeks ago and now here I am, watching my best friend and maid of honor marry her love. Is there anything better than watching two people in love? Is there anything better than being able to see the butterflies and a physical reaction to love? If there is, I haven't found it, instead I've found that love is the greatest display of emotion known. Love makes you cry, makes you laugh, makes you nervous, makes you happy, makes you shake, makes you feel love. Love is the greatest emotion.

This post is dedicated to my best. This post is dedicated to her love, the man who will spoil her, love her, honor her and dedicate the next 80+ years to her. Denton, you are marrying the best girl. Whitney, you're marrying your love, your fairytale, your soulmate...the one your heart loves. This is YOUR day. Enjoy it, soak it up. I feel so honored to be standing next to you today. I love you! 

Everyone reading this... I hope your toast your coffee, mimosa, beer, wine, whatever you're drinking, cheers to love, cheers to Mr. and Mrs., cheers to forever.
