Eat As Many Chips As You Want!

What if I told you that there was a delishious and flavorful chip that you could eat every single day and that would actually improve your health?


Well, I know of one, no joke. This salty, "cheezy", crispy, chip has quickly taken hold of the hearts and mouths of the Renegade household.


AND.... it's actually causing kids to abandon all reason and do chores like; pull weeds and water the garden WITHOUT being nagged at! I know, I know... your thinking, what kind of magic does she speak of? Well, I am talking about THE soon-to-be-famous "Cheezy" Renegade Kale Chips!



These wonderous little morsels are making an appearance in our families daily food intake. They're the perfect snack food. I don't even have to limit the frequency in which little fingers dip into the bowl each day. No, instead I am hearing things like, "More kale please Momma,"- WHAT???!!!


So your dying to get your hands and lips on these tasty chips right? Great news... you don't have to wait, you can make them in your own home! You are just a trip to the garden away.

So without further adu......

"Cheezy" Renegade Kale Chips

3 Bunches organic kale ripped off stem
1 cup raw cashews (optional)
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp Himilayan sea salt
2 Tbs Coconut oil melted
1 Tbs olive oil
1 Organic red/green pepper
1 Spicy Pepper of choice (dependant on your love of spicy factor)



Blend up all ingrediants (save the Kale) in a blender. Put kale on a baking dish and cover with sauce. Mix up the goopy mess together and spread evenly and pop into the oven for 2 hours or so at 200 degrees (or a dehydrator works but we simply cant wait ;) They're done when they are crispy and dry-

So when that uncontrollable urge for a cheezy chip washes over you and your batteling between the knowledge that tomorrow morning your going to have to look Tony Horton in the face (well at least in the screen) You can put a batch of these puppies in and chomp till your hearts content~ guilt free!


Warning; the first batch of chips was consumed in less than 20 minutes at my house! Be ready to be starred at by the grocery checker for the ungodly amounts of Kale purchased each week~

They may not look pretty but they are SUPER DELISH!

The Average of the Five

"You are the average of the five people you hang out with most" - Jim Rohn

Wow! I'm feeling pretty good about this one! There I am amidst 4 of the most outrageous and fun people I know on the whole planet. They are eager to grab life by the tail and go for it with all that they are. Each one holds their own unique flavor of awesomeness;

When Attikus (6 yrs.) wakes up in the morning, his little feet hit the ground running and comes eagerly to me with an ear to ear grin asking, "Whats for breakfast Momma?" Finneas (8 yrs.) is my little "Mayor". He holds an incredible innate sense of justice and has the strength to fight for the right. Indianna (11 yrs.) radiates a slow beauty that permeates every ounce of life. She is pure magic. And Jake, well.... simply put, he is the absolute best man I know!

Oh, and you wanna know my 5Th person.... the one who grows me and stretches me every single day? The person that I have known for over 30 years and STILL continues to dazzle me with her charm, wit and flair for life......

My one and only sis AnnaRose :) That's right, she rocked this race too (and is currently training for a half-marathon, go get'em Sis!)




I am blessed beyond measure to have these fabulous folks as my peeps, my average.

So, who are you the average of? Who are the folks that hold the distinct honor of doing life with YOU? Who do you let into your world because know this, you are worthy of GREATNESS and if it is not all around you then it's up to you to go find it. There are wonderfully inspiring people out there living to the fullest and eager to have you join them.

Go after it with everything that you are! You are where you are at today because of the choices you made yesterday. Make one small NEW choice today and watch your life bring in a breath of fresh hope. I dare you to look around and reach for the new and become dazzled at the joy you create. You will inspire others in your life to do the same.

You don't have to be the best, just the best version of YOU!
