Welcome!

I started this page as a way to share good and healthy recipes with my family and friends (so many had asked for my Quinoa and Kale Salad recipe!) and to encourage more of us to get motivated to make a change for the better. There are only a few of us posting so far, but please feel free to invite anyone who you'd think would like to share recipes with us, just e- mail or facebook message me their e-mail address and I will add them as an administrator.

Veggie Chips

There are many recipes for "healthy" vegetable chips online, but I've found them to be too high in calories from using way too much oil. Here is my version which I believe is healthier and tastier:

2 - 3 Cups of thinly sliced root-type veggies such as sweet potato (much healthier than white potatoes btw), beets, carrots, etc... you can even use kale yum!

sea salt to taste (for kale chips, salt after baking only)

1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil

Lightly coat bottom of cookie sheet (or two) with olive oil to prevent sticking (for kale chips you will need to chop and toss kale in a bowl with 1-2 addtional T of olive oil prior to baking), layer chips and lightly salt. Sprinkle favorite herbs and spices on chips - think cinnamon on sweet potatoes, fresh minced garlic or lemon juice on kale, organic seasoned sea salt, black pepper, fresh dill, thyme, cilantro, endless possibilities... Bake at 400 for around 10 minutes. Flip chips over and bake another 10 or longer till crispy. Chips will crisp more as they stand.
