tersa who brought the idea (and the kale) for baked kale!
We made this chicken, which I will so totally be making again. Perhaps even this weekend! The mustard tasted so good, and even with bacon and a good amount of cheese the calories were very reasonable! 199 per serving.
The bake kale was very odd and unlike a vegetable. Cut out the stem part, toss the leafy part in oil and salt, throw into the oven at 400-something for some amount of time. Comes out tasting nothing like veggies at all. It was more like eating oddly shaped potato chips. Crunchy salty a little rich from the oil. Good finger food -- and that's coming from someone who rarely eats veggies!
While I have to deduct points for being stupid (why yes, go ahead and take the temperature probe out of the chicken with your bare hands when it just came out of the oven! Ow ow ow ow ow), even more points were awarded for trying and liking a new vegetable, so we come out with an A+! If such things existed, it'd actually be an A++ or an A+++, but A+ is the highest grade we can get.
Bed soon. Bed so very soon. zzzzz
