Kale chips – naked

When I’m travelling I’ll buy a bag of kale chips to snack on. It helps me to keep up my intake of green foods, avoid the temptation of eating airline snack foods and highly processed potato chips. When I’m home, I’ll make a few bags of kale chips to snack on during the work day […]
