Baked Kale Chips

 
 
 
 
Dr. Terry Wahls  was the one to show me the power in eating kale.  I was convinced after listening to her the benefits of this leafy green veggie.  What is in one cup of kale?  36 calories,
5 grams of fiber, 15% daily calcium and B6, 180% daily Vitamin A, 200% daily Vitamin C, and 1020% Vitamin K.  Wow, what a punch of nutrition!

A Butterfly Quilt and Memories




I interviewed Marie on May 4th, 2006.  I wanted to meet someone who could tell me more about the life along the Niangua River for a book that I was working on.  The historical society in Buffalo told me that Maire would love to share information with me.  When I contacted her she said, "come on over".  I did with a small tape recorder in hand.  When I arrived at her home she meet me at the door and invited me in.  She was working on a quilt made with hankies she had recieved in a hankie exchange during WWII. I went home later and tried to the best of my weak abilities to capture that conversation exactly as she spoke...
