donuts always remind me of you.

baked kale chips

here's a super easy alternative to regular old potato chips. kale chips! they take about 15 minutes total to make, and the process is super easy.

what you're gonna need: 

• 1 bunch kale
• table salt or sea salt
• olive oil

First, preheat your oven to 350ºF. Chop the kale leaves separate from the stems. Then cut the leaves into bite-size pieces.

Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and dry them. Add about two teaspoons (I just eyeballed it) of olive oil to the leaves, and toss.

Add some table salt to the leaves and toss. You can add some pepper (or any other seasonings) too, if you like.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spread the leaves out onto the paper. This doesn't need to be neat. The leaves can touch each other, but don't overlap them, if at all possible. Bake the leaves for about 10-15 minutes. Take them out of the oven right before the edges start to brown. The leaves should be dark green.

hey december

i've been gone for over a month! here's an attempt to change that. i'll definitely be blogging more here after finals are through. yesterday i got a new camera, and i'm SO excited. that's probably an understatement. here's some pictures from my morning.

it was 38 degrees outside this morning when i woke up! that's the coldest it's been all season. i'm happy.
