Ingredients
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from
the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly
dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle
with seasoning salt.
3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.


I got this Homemade macaroni and cheese recipe from the Heart and Stroke foundation and tried it yesterday. It uses a sweet potato and it was a bit hit with M and K.



And how about some Chocolate Carrot Cupcakes? This recipe is also from the Heart and Stroke foundation. It uses cocoa instead of chocolate, a neat trick to cut the fat without any of the taste. Also I've never made yogurt icing, it sounds like a good idea. I suspect it uses egg whites to be heart healthy, so if you are in a hurry and not watching your cholesterol, it's probably ok to use the complete eggs.
