Recipe of the Week 1/24/11

Baked Kale Chips

Like potato chips, it's hard to eat just one! This recipe is one of my personal favorites. I just can't get enough of them!

To make the recipe even lower in calories, I use olive oil spray in place of the olive oil.

Ingredients

1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt or seasoning of choice (chili powder, garlic powder, etc.)

Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.

Makes 6 servings

HOW TO USE THESE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY RECIPES

Meal Planning Tip # 1

Make a commitment to try one new recipe per week until you build up a repertoire of 9-10 meals that you LOVE and look forward to eating.

List all the recipes you love on a single sheet of paper, and title it your "Master List." Hang the Master List on your refrigerator so when you're stumped for menu ideas you can look at it to jar your memory.

Meal Planning Tip # 2

Continue to add to your Master List. Eventually you'll get bored of eating the same 9-10 recipes all the time (that's usually when comfort foods and/or old, bad habits start creeping back in).

Make a commitment to continue experimenting with new recipes on a regular, planned interval. This might mean trying a new recipe every other week or even once a month. It doesn't really matter...just keep trying new weight loss surgery recipes regularly and adding the ones you like to your Master List.

The larger your Master List becomes, the easier it will be to stick to your gastric lap band diet. That's because you'll have lots of gastric band recipes to choose from when you wonder, "What should I eat?!"
