More Kale Chips
The original post on kale chips is linked below and it includes our family’s recipe on how we make chips out of this healthy veggie. I also share a tidbit of advice based on a rookie mistake I made on our journey.
There are varieties of kale chips sold in bags at the grocery store or online, but (of course) Mikey doesn’t like those…so, we make them at home.
A Note on Journaling
Sometimes you’ll see journal entries that are similar to others we have shared in the past. Remember that Mikey’s Journal was originally set up to share his life, personality and experiences with his classmates at school. He brought it with him each day to take the place of the small talk in which the other kids engage easily. So, each year, we shared some of the basics again. This helped each new classroom of kids get to know Mikey
So, you’ll probably see repeat posts about favorite foods, dogs, movies, aquariums, and outside time. According to the journals, these have been the staples of Mikey’s childhood. Still having a great time with all of the above!
