A brief recap of Day 1 of Total Healthiness:

• Feelin’ pretty good
• Lots of chopping though.  Lotttts of chopping.
• Feel like I perhaps deserve some small medal of sticking-with-it for doing all the above chopping with raw, split eczema fingers.
• Kale chips, YES!!!
  • Remove and discard kale stems, tear leaves into chip-sized pieces, wash and dry thoroughly.  Toss lightly with olive oil on a sheet pan and sprinkle with salt (I did half the pan with seasoned salt and half with low-sodium soy sauce).  Bake at 350 for exactly 10 minutes.  Ridiculously good! If you have enough self-restraint to have leftovers (like myself… once I made a second pan full), store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
• I like to cook, and I think I’m pretty good at it.  Except for making rice from scratch.  I SUCK at that.  Rice cooker added to wish list henceforth!
• But preparing everything from scratch all the time forever?  I’m committed, but the whole of it is too daunting to consider.  I’ll think about that tomorrow.  After all, tomorrow is…. another day!
