Best. Snack. Ever.

Before I get to the snack.. I have to brag just a little. We started eating Paleo foods on January 11th. In ONE month, Lucian has gone from 210 pounds to 190 pounds. I can't believe he reached his goal of losing 20 pounds in a month and now is setting a new goal!! I am SOOO proud of him! I have lost about 8 pounds although it isn't coming off as easily for me, I'm not giving up! I'm about halfway to my original goal and I still have a month to go. I have "cheated" and given into a few cravings lately. I think that I have to give in about once a month or else I will go crazy and eat a dozen cupcakes at one time, so I'm ok with my slip ups. :)

So to the snack.... I can't believe I haven't thought about this the past month while eating Paleo. I love toasted seaweed.. well, tonight I came across a recipe for Kale Chips. We didn't have any kale, so I just put in whatever greens I have in my fridge (I think they were mustard greens) and followed the recipe. I ended up making two batches. For both of them, Pre-heat the oven to 300. Batch 1: In a bowl, toss olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Batch 2: In a bowl, toss with apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and olive oil. Bake the same way. They come out sooo good! I saw that someone has tried it with brussel sprout leaves, that will be my next experiment! Here's the finished product:

Our first month is over. I will try to post more with great recipes that we try.

If you're just starting out eating Paleo, don't give up or get discouraged. There is SO much information on the web, just "google" what you're looking for and you will find an answer!
