I absolutely love reading books. I inhale them actually and am quite content to sit at home and read all day. As a youngster I would climb atop the comics in my dad’s shop and snack on chips and immerse myself in the world’s of Archie, Casper, Spooky, Betty and Veronica and the Pussycat Dolls.

My need to snack evolved in my early teens when I began reading novels and my waistline grew as rapidly as my appetite for books. In my adulthood, nothing changed, I still enjoy a good snack with a novel. Last year I stumbled on this kale chips recipe and I’ve never looked back. My dietitian never allowed me to snack on anything so this couldn’t have come at a better time.

Did you know: 1 1/2 cups of baked kale chips has less than 100 calories, 2 g fat and 12 g carbs.
