The Best Kitchen Tool!!

I Love this kitchen tool. I use mine for making smoothies to blending soups. I used to pull out my big blender for making smoothies, and it was such a pain. One day my blender broke and my sister said, why are you using a blender it is so much easier with a hand blender." She was right I never have replaced my blender, I use this hand blender for everything. Just put all your ingredients in a glass for a single serving ,or a pitcher for multiple servings, and blend away using the easy Smart Stick hand blender.

Kale Chips

Homemade Kale Chips Try these @ home they are a fun finger food, that is a healthy snack for the entire family. INGREDIENTS 1 bunch of kale, washed and dried thoroughly olive oil, for drizzling sea salt, for sprinkling DIRECTIONS Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into chip size pieces. Lay on a baking sheet, make sure to not crowd, I used 2 rimmed baking sheets. Toss the kale with the olive oil and salt, I found this easier to use your hands to toss the kale to make sure each leaf was coated evenly. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food. Let me know how your family likes this one!!
