NACHO KALE CHIPS
Okay… we heard your requests for something crunchy and salty! These nacho kale chips are delicious! They are very light with plenty of flavor. The best taste and texture are achieved in a dehydrator. An expensive one is not necessary, and they are great for creating a nice crunch, but you can always make them quickly in the oven, as well. Kale chips can be hard to measure, since they can’t be “packed” into a cup – so they leave a lot of space.

HOMEMADE BEEF JERKY
This beef jerky is a great way to bring protein on the road or to add variety at meals. Making your own jerky is fun and provides a tasty, satisfying chew that is much less expensive than healthy store-bought brands. Slicing your beef against the grain will help make it less tough, too. You can always start with 1-lb. of beef and cut the other ingredients to 1/3 to make a small batch and see how you like it.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SALSA
A key to maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle is incorporating a variety of foods and flavors into your meal planning. There are a hundred ways to prepare an everyday piece of chicken that can transform what would normally be a boring meal into something special and flavorful. Red Pepper Salsa is an incredible flavor booster that can be used on chicken, fish, beef or even vegetables. You can buy roasted peppers already roasted in a jar (without sugar) or roast them at home. They are so easy to make. Balsamic vinegar adds great flavor to this recipe. Purchase one without added sugars (and never “sugar free,” meaning artificial sweeteners). Most will have a natural fruit sugar as part of the ingredients, which is fine in the small quantity used.
