I love kale too. I mostly juice it, but I do love kale chips!

Chard with Shallots, Pancetta and Walnuts
Had something similar to this recently and it was scrumptious.
Chard with Shallots, Pancetta and Walnuts Description: For this simple sautéed chard, flavored with rich-tasting pancetta and walnuts, we prefer the milder taste of green chard. Ingredients: 2 thin slices pancetta, (1 1/2 ounces), diced (see Tip) 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced 1 pound chard, stems and leaves separated, chopped (see Note) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup water 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted (see Tip) 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Preparation:
Tips: Pancetta is an unsmoked Italian bacon usually found in the deli section of large supermarkets and specialty food stores. Regular or turkey bacon may be substituted. To toast chopped walnuts: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Note: After washing the chard, allow some of the water to cling to the leaves. It helps steam the chard and prevents a dry finished dish. |

These little date treats are super good and Paleo approved! As you will see from the webpage, you can roll them in a variety of mixtures. I like the coconut/walnuts, but I also like to make them with coconut and shredded dark chocolate.

Here's another sweet snack that is Paleo friendly. I have not tried this one, but it has pecans in it, so I definitely will do so in the near future.
Cinnamon Pecan Brittle

This is the first year for CSAs for us-- and lately we've been getting A LOT of kale. I only can make so much sausage/butternut/kale skillet til I just can't take it anymore and needed to figure some new ways of making this delicious green. I always enjoyed my mom's creamed spinach growing up, so I figured I'd attempt to make it paleo and with kale. Here is my attempt and it was awesome!!
PREP: Begin by mincing garlic and chopping onion. Next, clean and stem kale. Cut the kale leaves into bite sized pieces and set aside. Measure coconut milk and spices. COOK:
** I added a bit more coconut milk towards the end, stirred, tasted, seasoned again, stirred, placed the lid on, turned heat to low and let it come more together. Do any of you do a CSA? Don't know what one is -- looky here. |

Zucchini Pancakes Serves 2 Ingredients: 2 cups grated zucchini 1/2 cup grated potato 1 egg 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1 pinch breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 tablespoons sour cream or yogurt (optional) Preparation: Grate your zucchini and potato using the largest hole on your grater. Let stand in a colander for at least 30 minutes to drain. They will hold together better when you drain out maximum moisture. Salt generously. In a bowl, beat egg, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Add pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Roll and squeeze zucchini/potato mixture in a towel to soak up moisture. Add pinch of bread crumbs to soak up any leftover wetness. Combine zucchini / potato mixture with egg mixture. Stir well and coat. Turn on oven to 200 and place cookie sheet with foil in there to keep your pancakes warm as you make them. Heat 13" skillet on medium high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. You can use olive oil if you prefer, but butter is delicious. When foam subsides, drop a spoonful of your pancake mixture in. You don't really need to form it in advance, but pat it with a spatula and try to flatten it out as much as possible -- it'll be more crispy that way. Cook 2 at a time until golden brown on each side, then place in oven to keep warm to make additional pancakes. Serve as soon as possible, with a dollop of sour cream or (drained greek style) yogurt on top for extra richness. Note from Jesse: These are really good as a side dish with chicken or grilled shrimp. Be sure to follow draining instructions. What I do different: 1. Sweet potato in place of the regular potatoes. 2. Leave out the breadcrumbs. 3. I usually add 2 eggs instead of one and cook the pancakes in an iron skillet. 4. I also prefer the greek yogurt with a little cayenne pepper blended in.

Making these today...will let you know how they turn out.....
NO BAKE Energy Bites
1 cup dry oatmeal 2/3 c. coconut flakes 1/2 c. peanut butter 1.2 c. ground flax seed 1/2 c. chocolate chips 1/3 c. honey 1 TBSP Chia seeds 1 tsp. vanilla extract Mix all ingredients together and let set in fridge for a half hour. Roll into small balls about 1 inch diameter Store in airtight container, and enjoy along the way. NOTE: One could use any number of other ingredients if wanted to. My honey doesn't like peanut butter, so I will use butterscotch chips in hers. One could use peanut butter chips as opposed to the peanut butter. Chopped nuts could also be used. I just saw this posted on my FB, so have no clues about if it is indeed a quick energy bite. Just loved the recipe and options to alter it. Hoping it is sufficient to post this recipe here!!!

ETA: coconut "flakes" is same as shredded coconut......OP on FB used "flakes"....and I had gotten shredded coconut....do they make the flakes???
The No Bake orbs are delicious!!! I substituted butterscotch chips for chocolate chips, and Nutella for Peanut Butter (my honey doesn't like peanut butter) and I added some chopped up walnuts & pecans. My honey suggested maybe rolling the formed orbs in the chopped up nuts next time...just a thought. Definitely a great snack...very filling...I ate just one, and it did give me an energy boost!!!

Flakes of coconut are just larger --> here.
I'd wonder how much sugar/carbs are in those tasty little orbs of goodness. |

No worries, Clay. This recipe likely would fit better on the vegetarian thread though because Low carb or Paleo eating plans do not include some of the items in the recipe, even though it does sound good. If you want unsweetened coconut you can buy it online or at your health food store. The stuff carried by most grocery stores has sugar added, same with dried fruit.
