Sweet Chilly Heat Kale Chips

Feel like munching? Want some chips? Well before you reach for the bag of potato chips, try these KALE chips! They have the same crunchy texture and now I have made them into a chip flavour!

In a medium sized mixing bowl rip up about 5 big leaves of kale (de-bone them first, as in take out the stems)
Then pour a tsp of olive oil over the kale and lightly toss until all pieces are covered.
Then sprinkle 1 tsp of salt, 1tsp of coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp of chili powder, 1/4 tsp of cumin and 1/8tsp of cayenne and toss in until all pieces are coated.
Preheat your oven to 275
Spread your pieces of kale out on a cookie sheet as shown below

Then place pan in oven and let bake for 10-15mins or until all pieces are crispy and flaky...will turn brown when they start to get over baked.
Let cool and serve!
Enjoy!

Curry in a Hurry

I have been trying to post this recipe for weeks now, just haven't found the time and FINALLY here it is!
A spicy dish before it gets unbelievably hot outside....
Start by cooking rice either with a rice cooker or boiling it and chick peas if you prefer to boil yours like me if not canned will do (but try and get bpa free and nothing added)...you will need about 2 cups of cooked rice and a cup of chickpeas
Fry a clove of garlic and a small chopped onion in 2 tbsps of coconut oil, while this is frying...
Chop up your choice of veggies I like to use:
2 carrots, a cup of chunked broccoli and a half cup of sliced bok choy
In a bowl mix 1/2 can of coconut milk (organic full fat is preferred, coconuts have a healthy fat so dont be scared its gonna add pounds), with 1/2 tsp of curry powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4tsp ginger powder, 1/8tsp cumin, 1/8tsp cayenne.
Then add your coconut milk with spices, veggies and chickpeas to the pan.
Let all of this simmer together for 15-20 mins
Then serve the curry on a bed of rice....or add green leafys under the rice and curry and make it into a curry salad!
Caution may be SPICY...Im not a huge spice fan so I try not too make it too extreme but feel free to spice yours up!

Corn chips with spicy bean spread

So I got home tonight and had no idea what to make for dinner....and then I found inspiration and this dish was created!  Dont ask how I think of these things cause I have no idea I just put a bunch of things together and when they turn out I share them with all of you! :)

So first you are going to need to start with boiling the beans....you need to boil a 1/2-1 cup of kidney beans and the same amount of black beans (the portion depends on how much you want).
While these are on the stove cooking you will need to add:
3/4 cup of corn meal (always buy organic corn because corn is one of the biggest GMOs, also beware that alot of people have corn sensitivities due to this)
11/2 cups of water
1tbsp of spices (I used an Italian mix but you can use thyme or rosemary or cumin or basil or a mix)
2tsp of salt (i always prefer sea salt or pink himalayan)
2tbsp of sesame oil (use an oil that you can heat such as sesame or grapeseed, please dont use olive oil its not meant to be heated)
to a pot and boil on med heat until it becomes thick and a lil doughy (5-10 mins)
preheat your oven to 400
on a greased cookie sheet take a spoon full of corn dough and press it into a circle (i used my fingers) and put as many of these circles on your baking sheet as you can just dont let them touch (press pretty thin to about a half a centimeter thin if they are too thick they will take longer to cook and may not cook all the way through)
now put them into bake until the edges start to brown and they seem to be cooked through in the middle (15-25 mins)
as your baking your whole batch of corn chips you put together the spread (assuming that your beans have finished cooking by now
in a food processor add:
your cooked beans (rinse the beans in cold water after cooking so the heat doesnt disturb the oil or plastic from the food processor)
3tbsp of olive oil
2tsp of salt (same as above applies)
1 small chopped onion ( i use cooking onions)
1 big clove of garlic (either minced or I use a garlic press)
1/4tsp chili powder
1/4tsp cayenne pepper
2tbsp of nutritional yeast
then processes it until it gets thick into a spread and everything is mixed in (approx 5 mins)
Then when chips are done spread on the chips and enjoy!
CAUTION this is a spicy dish and a diaphoretic so have some tissues and some water handy!
