VeganMoFo: Tuscan Kale Chips

Hang onto your seats for a full blast of vegan culinary delights for the month of October. I took the plunge and sign up for VeganMoFo (Vegan Month of Food). This year it’s being hosted by kittee over at Cake Maker to the Stars.

For my inaugural post, I’m going with my new favorite way to eat kale. Crispy, crunchy kale chips! I’m sure you’ve seen it all over the internet by now. And for good reason – it taste good and it’s good for you. A great snack that’s perfect for those salty crunchie munchies.

Super easy to make. There’s quite a few kale chip recipes floating around but I like going with the long strips instead of the small chip size pieces. They’re just more fun to eat. The recipe I used is from Bon Appétit.

So with snack in hand, I’m now all set to peruse the many mouth-watering posts that’s sure to come on this first day of VeganMoFo.

    You know, if you look at that picture a certain way, the kale actually LOOKS like a dinosaur! Beautiful pictures of all the food.

    I don’t know about all this kale chip business, but with everyone posting about it all the time I’m going to have to try it. I’ve only had one very unfortunate run-in with kale, so I need to give it another try for a fair shot.

    Thanks all for the comments!

    Andrea – Thanks! You’re right, now whenever I look at the photo, I see a dinosaur! :-)
