thomas keller's chocolate chip cookies

Chef Keller is really amazing. He really is! He can even make a chocolate chip cookie better than what you knew a chocolate cookie can be. If you don't believe me, you'll have to make a batch of these cookies yourself. The key to this cookie is using high quality chocolate and chopping the chocolate into shavings. It gives the cookie a cleaner look, as well as evenly distributes the yummy bursts of chocolate goodness.

baked kale chips

Last year I saw some blogs all posting baked kale chips and I was intrigued. It's been on my list of things to make since then. But kale is not exactly one of the usual things on my grocery list and I don't purposely go out to buy. Luckily for me, my CSA from Hampstead Farms had kale in it this week (including a slew of vegetables I don't usually eat). So when I was presented with this opportunity, I dug up those recipes and whipped up some yummy, crisp kale chips!
