Y'all.

I mean, Y'ALL. We need to TALK. I realize it's been a while. Okay, yes, 3 months. That's beside the point. I mean, I could hem and haw around with excuses, I'm busy, I can't get my pictures off my brand spankin' new camera, I haven't had anything to say, but in the end, just blame it on the boogie. It's always the boogie.There are several things I need to tell you about

THESE.

You guys, who the heck is TOM? I know, I know, the guy who made those heinously ugly flats for a while, but now, NOW, there are the wedges. And they make my heart go pitter patter. And for every pair we buy (oh, and we will buy) they give a pair to a sweet lil child who needs them. AND they're comfortable. No matter that they make me about 8' tall. I'm obsessed.

Also, I have something disturbing to tell you. I have eaten an entire bunch of kale in the past 30 hours. The whole thing. By myself. Whatt??? I am not averse to vegetables, but I generally struggle to get in my recommended daily allowance. Until this...

Lemon Kale Chips. Holy holy. These are divine. They fulfill my deep-seeded need for salty, crunchy nosh while also serving up a heaping of superfood.

here are the directions, courtesy of those geniuses at Tastykitchen.com

• 1 bunch Kale (prepared And Washed)
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• ¼ teaspoons Celtic Sea Salt

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Chop kale into ½ inch pieces.
Place kale in a large bowl.
With hands, massage oil, lemon juice and salt into the kale.
Place kale on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes until kale is dark green and crispy (Shauna from Gluten-Free Girl has a great Baked Kale Chips recipe on her site. She says the 12-minute mark is the perfect done time.)
Cool and serve.

I'll be honest, I have had a hard time not just standing over the oven and eating them all out of the pan. And by that I mean, I stand over the oven and eat them all out of the pan.

Alright, last but not least, my current absolute favorite sweet treat....

I would literally pick one of these over most regular full fat ice creams. They are creamy, dreamy, and 100 cal!

And with that, I will leave you, my friends. I promise to be back in less than 3 months!

Live and love!
