Sneaky Veggies

Well, I'm taking the ole blog out, dusting her off, and letting her stretch her legs a little. My posts are few and far between lately, but it's quality over quantity, right? Right? Guys?

So I was making kale chips this afternoon because I am blessed enough to have a toddler who eats them, and I thought maybe someone could benefit from my sneakiness. I cut up kale into tiny, minuscule herb-like pieces and sneak them into all kinds of soups, sauces, chili, chicken soup, almost anything. So that my husband will eat it. Yup, sneaky veggies for the husband. Because his taste in veggies is very limited to broccoli, green beans, peas, and carrots, and sometimes summer squash, but not winter squash. Perish the thought. But because it's virtually tasteless in tiny cut-up pieces, he will eat the kale without protest. And lots of people don't get enough beta-carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, and calcium, which kale is packed full of. And when you cut it up, it supposedly ups the anti-cancer properties. So make your husbands eat their kale!
