FOODS TO REFRESH THE PALETTE!

If food is your ONE THING, I hope that I can dispel any grief that food will now be tasteless and boring.  I shared an easy recipe today with boot campers that is cheaper than the $4 veggie chips at Wal-Mart!  If you are into salty, here's a guiltless indulgence, and I will add a Body Cycle approved dip to match!

WARNING!!! May be addictive!

KALE CHIPS
1 bunch of kale
T olive oil
t sea salt

Preheat oven to 300.  Cut leaves from their thick stems and tear into bite size pieces.  Wash and dry leaves.  A salad spinner works great.  Drizzle with olive oil and salt and mix.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, make sure leaves don't touch and bake until brown on edges, start checking after 10 minutes, may take up to 30 minutes.

WHITE BEAN HUMMUS
1 (15 oz.) can of Great Northern Beans, drain and reserve juice
1-3 cloves of garlic (2 or more will be very garlicky)
T olive oil
1T lemon juice
1/2 t. sea salt

Place drained beans in blender.  Add garlic to taste, olive oil, lemon juice and salt.  Start to blend.  Use the reserved bean juice a little at a time to thin out.  Place in bowl and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley if desired.  If you want to add flavor, try cumin or roasted red pepper when blending.  Make it your own!

BON APPETITE!
