I'VE BEEN FRAMED!!

Today I thought I would share some things I framed.


 1...flatscreen t.v, and
 2...an aquarium I put inside the wall.


This frame was created out of some scrap trim board I found in the garage. I then purchased some decorative resin wall hangings from Hobby Lobby for half price and screwed them to the wood. The entire thing was sprayed gold with a can of paint. Voila!...total price : $26.50

KALE CHIPS

Health Benefits
Antioxidant-Related Health Benefits
Anti-Inflammatory Health Benefits
Glucosinolates and Cancer-Preventive Benefits
Glucosinolates in kale and their detox-activating isothiocyanates
Cardiovascular Support


The beautiful leaves of the kale plant provide an earthy flavor and more nutritional value for fewer calories than almost any other food around. Although it can be found in markets throughout the year, it is in season from the middle of winter through the beginning of spring when it has a sweeter taste and is more widely available.


  • Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. The fiber-related components in kale do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they've been steamed. When this binding process takes place, it's easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability--just not as much.
  • Kale's risk-lowering benefits for cancer have recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer. These types include cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) made from glucosinolates in kale play a primary role in achieving these risk-lowering benefits.
  • Kale is now recognized as providing comprehensive support for the body's detoxification system. New research has shown that the ITCs made from kale's glucosinolates can help regulate detox at a genetic level.
  • Researchers can now identify over 45 different flavonoids in kale. With kaempferol and quercetin heading the list, kale's flavonoids combine both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits in way that gives kale a leading dietary role with respect to avoidance of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress.
These are a low calorie nutritious snack...
And soooo gooood for ya too!!!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

  3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
