GARLIC KALE CHIPS


my healthy quest continues...i've tried kale chips before and love the crunchy, saltiness that is a great substitute for potato chips/fries. i think this could be a super awesome alternative and something that can help get me in the right direction. for some reason, i could not find whole leaves, so i bought the precut salad variation instead and love that they mimic san francisco's, or should i say gilroy's, beloved garlic fries, but with way less than fat and no carbs! this is an extremely easy recipe that is worth the wait. i can't wait to try this with whole leaves...

CHICKEN PICCATA & LEMON BRUSSEL SPROUTS

one of my favorite notes in food is sour, usually from lemons. a dish that i think really captures this flavor profile is chicken piccata. i love this and it's incredibly easy to make. the added bonus for me are the capers, which add to the sour note. it seems like there are ways to adjust this recipe by either using white wine and/or garlic, which i may experiment with, especially since i just prepared a julia child's moules a la mariniere recipe that called for these ingredients and it was super delicious (post to follow)! the other, very trendy side i wanted were lemon brussel sprouts. i've had and loved brussels with bacon, but to keep with the lemony theme, i found this extremely delicious recipe! it calls to add cheese, but i was fine without it. these combined may be too much of the same for some, but it is what i considered a perfect homemade meal.

SAUSAGE & KALE STEW WITH OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATOES

mr. miles everett first off, as you can see, i have not been contributing to my poor deprived blog. the last post was in april, which was when i found out i was pregnant with my first baby. a couple things were going on then: 1) i was too nauseous to even think about food (being pregnant is NOT a foodie's friend in the first trimester), then 2) when i finally got my appetite back, all i wanted was take out. i probably won't have time in the new year with a new baby, but i will try to post something at least once a month because blogging about food makes me happy and one of resolutions is to cook more. don't be surprised, however, if my next post are lactation cookies or baby food. anyway…on with my comeback... i found saw this recipe in the november issue of real simple and knew i wanted to make it. i assumed it was something that can be whipped up in a couple hours, but then quickly realized that it was a slow cooker recipe, which would take 8 hours of cooking t...

SF GIANTS WORLD SERIES 2012 CHAMPION CAKEPOPS

if you haven't heard, the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS won the world series...again!! to have lived through one win in my lifetime was magical, but two? that's unbelievable!!! quite honestly, nothing beats the first feeling of victory when the boys won in 2010. because it had been so long since this franchise had actually won and the fact that it was the first win as the "San Francisco Giants", not "New York Giants", 2010 was so, incredibly sweet!!! don't get me wrong, there were some seriously awesome things that happened to get us to the 2012 win - two playoff comebacks, a well-rounded team with many firsts for some of the players (like marco scutaro), and a sweep for the underdog team that was counted out! take that, odds makers! so, how do i celebrate? by baking! in 2010, i made caramel apple cider cupcakes ...this year, i decided on pumpkin cakepops. i figured they are super of-the-season and i also hadn't made cakepops in quite some time. w...
