Hi Readers,
It’s been a busy week here in Kerri’s Kitchen. My Green Monster Challenge has gone very well and I have a new found love and appreciation of my Magic Bullet Blender.
A Green smoothie in the morning is just as energizing as a cup of coffee. In keeping with my St. Patrick’s Day inspired green theme I experimented with some interesting vegetables and some health conscious recipes.

I made, baked herb chicken breasts and crispy kale chips. The baked chicken was successful and tasted great.
One minor issue as the stove decided to kiss me when I wanted to baste the chicken. The lesson here, take the chicken out of the stove and then baste it.
I was amazed that even a two second bump into a 400 degree oven leaves a nasty blister. My Mom told me it will be the first of many injuries in my cooking journey.

(the burn on my arm clearly brought down my execution score)
The Kale Chips were unique. I had 4 cups of kale to use up so I made a large batch of chips. They were very tasty out of the roaster but got soggy quickly. A cool cooking experiment but I don’t think I will be making these again.
