sunday cooking: easy kale chips VIDEO ADDED

these are a weekly staple in my kitchen. luckily i have a lot of local farms where I can get an ENORMOUS bunch of kale for about $2-$3. i keep them on my counter in a bowl for up to a week (oh who are we kidding they maybe last two days because i eat them ALL!) most of the time i use curly kale, but when i can get my hands on some tuscan black kale... its amazing!

you'll need:
large bunch of kale (fill a grocery bag!)
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
sea salt
black pepper
half a lemon

thoroughly wash and dray kale leaves
cut off the tough stems and place leaves in a bowl 
put the coconut oil is your hands (melt it a bit but don't let it get warm) and massage... yes i said massage the kale with your hands for about 3 minutes. by the way, a nice benefit of this is that you will have some super soft hands after this! works wonders on your lifting calluses!
squeeze juice from the lemon over the kale and mix with your hands
youll need two large baking sheets. place the kale on the baking sheets and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper (no not over do the salt!)
 (i cover my baking sheets with foil for easy cleanup... you don't have to)
cook in 300 degrees oven about 10-12 minutes then toss kale with a spatula and cook another 10-12 minutes. some pieces will be softer and some will be crispy.
