Guys can be pretty picky when it comes to the food. They’re all about the meat and potatoes, while us ladies tend to be all about the salads and vegetables. It may seem like an impossible task to win your guy over to the healthier side, but Haylie proves otherwise in the latest episode of“The Real Girl's Kitchen,” where it turns out, her “girly” healthy dishes, maybe aren’t quite so girly after all!
Next time you’re looking for something healthy (for you) and tasty (for him) try cooking up one of Haylie’s recipes- we’re pretty sure your guy won’t be able to resist!
Haylie's Kale Chips
Ingredients
- 1 bunch curly kale
- 1-2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
- Wash and dry kale very thoroughly (the drier the kale, the crunchier the chip.) Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the kale with the vinegar until fully coated. Lay the kale out to dry on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Once the vinegar has dried, spray olive oil across the kale and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Check the kale every few minutes. Remove any pieces that are turning color more quickly than the rest.
