There are very few things on this earth that give me more pleasure than watching Charlotte unknowingly eat vegetables. She can be pretty picky at times, going so far as to carefully pick out any speck of spinach in her scrambled eggs every morning. I knew I had to do something, so began “hiding” the vegetables. It started out innocently enough - some puréed peas mixed into her macaroni and cheese. When that worked, I got a little bolder, trying veggie quesadillas. Before I knew it, I was in deep, even mixing broccoli in with the pancake batter.
So it was only a matter of time until I found kale chips. They are the perfect crunchy snack and much more enjoyable than eating a salad. I’ve been experimenting with different flavors and ended up pureeing some leftover bruschetta in the back of the fridge. The tomatoes compliment the kale perfectly, and you should be able to find most of these ingredients at your local farmers market!
As you can see, these chips are the perfect size for little hands
