I've never bought kale chips, I made some at home recently which were gobbled up by people who said they didn't like kale!<br /><br />Hope you enjoy making tamales! I've wrapped them in foil rather than corn husks and this worked for me. I must make them again soon, you have reminded me of my neglected big bag of flour!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-79426795766012243742013-06-18T11:19:01.581+10:002013-06-18T11:19:01.581+10:00I want everything that you have!!!

I have seen that chocolate spread but not tried it - I may not be able to resist next time! - and ditto that particular flavour of Alter Eco chocolate (they have so many great dairy free ones that I've resisted the toffee with its dairy addition). I'm intrigued by flavoured agave and have tried and enjoyed those rice cakes covered in berry yoghurt (despite the dairy!) :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-11742133031427768782013-06-15T10:29:01.777+10:002013-06-15T10:29:01.777+10:00Aaahahaha!!

I would recommend making your own at home before deciding if you like them! You don't need a food dehydrator to make them. I just toss some kale in a bit of oil, salt, and savoury yeast and bake at about 170 C until crispy, but there are a million more interesting recipes online!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11869815667597972814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-75130561735979258512013-06-14T23:16:09.623+10:002013-06-14T23:16:09.623+10:00Thanks Veganopoulous - I don't buy chocolate s...Thanks Veganopoulous - I don't buy chocolate spreads for the same reason but this was a present (and lasted longer than the hazelnut chocolate spread that came with it).
