Day 7: Project 365 – My puppy, Shadow.


Ok, I decided, his name will be Shadow.  Decided PCP just might not be a good idea.  Don’t want the neighbors calling the cops down on me cuz they hear wrong when I am actually calling for the puppy.  It could get tiresome.  :)   So, Shadow, it is.  Now I just have to start calling him Shadow. ;)

Here is the picture of the day.

Kale Chips, recipe. I FOUND IT.


Here is the recipe for any who might be interested. (Also in case I mess up again! LOL)  Don’t know how I forgot such easy instructions.

Kale Chips

 If you’re looking for a crunchy snack to munch on instead of potato chips, you’ll love these organic kale chips. Crunchy and flavorful, these are super easy to make and provide way more nutrients than traditional chips. Kale is extremely low in calories, and is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, so eat as many of these chips as you want without guilt. Ingredients:

2 heads organic curly leaf kale

2 tablespoons organic olive oil

Sea salt, to taste

Directions: Tear the kale into bite size pieces. Toss with the olive oil and lay on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-5 minutes until crispy. Store in an airtight container.

Makes About 4 Cups of Chips

Calories per serving: 70

Fat per serving: 6 grams

Well, Samantha Brown, it sounds like a GREAT recipe.  I need one additional item of information, please.  WHAT IS THE OVEN SETTING?!?!?!??!

P.S. I looked up the recipe online, duh, set the oven at 350. :)

Ok, they are out of the oven.  Very crunchy!  Touched one very quickly to see if it would pass the crunchy test.  Appears so.  Now just waiting for them to cool off.

The results?  The “Kale Chips” are great!  A bit strong, but not overwhelming, and CRUNCHY!  I like!  Try them.  Great for your heart, which is good for me, and a multitude of things for your bod.

A quote I came across…I like, so sharing.


“People are here for the sake of other people–for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy”

Albert Einstein

That is in the book I am reading.   I know, I know, I am suppose to be looking for a recipe on Kale Chips.  I get distracted easily, especially when I see titles of something I forgot I have!

I am not a very religious person.  Somewhat a bit of a “Doubting Thomas“, actually.  Been to lots of different churches. Almost even joined a cult once, until I realized, THANK GOD, it was a cult.  (They started scaring me with their ideas and the things I “HAD” to do.)  But, that is another story.

However, I do like Meditations, things to think about and so on.  Reflection.  I don’t always remember all of it.  Some passages resonate more than others.  Like the quote above.  Sometimes it is good to be reminded our world is bigger than “me”. Ya know?  I just got reminded is all.

It does happen to me ya know? :)
