Burned

I am almost burning my mouth right this second. I cannot wait for my dessert to cool down!

One of the benefits of being on your own and having a day off is that you can do whatever you want whenever you want. If you lose track of time, no one complains. Here on the western side of the time zone, there was still visible light on the horizon at 9 p.m. Summer screws me up because there are no good cues for when I should go to bed. I realized I was really hungry about two o'clock this afternoon and had not had lunch. When 7:30 rolled around, but the sun was out, I realized I had not thought about dinner. So I improvised again.

I had picked up some kale to make kale chips for a snack while I did work. Instead, I had them for dinner. You just wash and tear up the kale. Spread it on a cookie sheet. Spray with oil and sprinkle something on it if you want, and bake at 350 to 375 for 15 to 20 minutes (depends on your oven, but keep an eye on them). The first time I made them I did plain olive oil and salt. This time, I did chipotle olive oil. For dipping, I mixed up some Greek yogurt and dill seasoning mix.

I still have phyllo, so of course I cannot let it go to waste! I layered the phyllo, spraying in between with plain olive oil. Then scooped some Nutella on, added an over-ripe banana, honey, walnuts, marshmallows, and some cinnamon and nutmeg.

 Then I stuck it in the oven at 375 for maybe 30 minutes.

I think I could have used less phyllo, but it is still delicious. Look out for the bubbling sugary goodness that spills out of the phyllo pocket if you try this at home. Oh. And I forgot to add the raspberries and chocolate chips I had taken out of the freezer for the little banana packet. Next time.
