Kale Chips.

I love making kale chips!! I was going to wait until I made them again to share the recipe with you, but I couldn't wait! I actually got Myles into kale with these chips. Now, trust me, you will get HOOKED to these chips. One time you make them, you'll make them all the time! You could season them with any seasoning mix you want, I just go with the old salt and pepper.

Kale Chips

1 bunch of kale
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
Pepper

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Cut the kale in to 1 1/2 inch pieces.
Place the kale on a cookie sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Put in the oven for 12-15 min.
You don't even have to flip them!

Feliz Cumpleaños Nailah!!

On May 24, I had a Mexican birthday party. I invited 4 friends over for a birthday party. Sophia, Amanda, Zara and Taylor. We hung out at my house for almost 2 hours. We took turns dancing with my friend Zara. Papa made Margaritas with Margarita mix and 7up. We also made butterfly bag charm craft. Then, at 5:30 we headed to the Mexican restaurant. Little Mexican Cantina in Steveston on Chatham. We went in, they gave me a Sombrero, and all my friends took turns playing with it. We got to each make taco bowls and soft tacos. They put out cheese, chicken, salsa and lettuce. Everyone had fries for their side dish. (So Mexican!! Sì?) For me they made sautéed shrimp with cilantro. If you don't know, I am a pesctitarian. They normally don't do that at the restaurant. Zara kept saying "I could live here, eat this all food for free!" After, we went back to my house and opened PRESENTS!! I got some AWESOME gifts. Taylor got me a $50 SHOP! gift card. Zara got a chef notebook and a Lego Friends set Café edition. Sophia got me a Paris travel bag and four t-shirts. And…Amanda got me a sorbet, frozen yogurt and ice cream maker! We had strawberry shortcake for dessert!! My favorite!! The last guests left at 9:45!
