My idea-partner Mark and I are currently fundraising money to make more Goodie Monsters, so we are offering rewards for people who support the project. This reward is a PDF snack sheet with the Goodie Monster’s path to snacking, some tips, a kale chip recipe, and info about snacks from around the world. Personally I don’t go a single hour without thinking about what my next snack is going to be. To back the effort, check out the campaign on Kickstarter.
Baked Kale Chips
Ingredients
1 bunch kale, washed and dried
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
Remove leaves and tear into bite-size pieces
Toss with olive oil and salt on baking sheet
Bake until crisp (10 to 15 minutes)
You can also experiment with other root veggies like sweet potatoes, carrots, or beets, and sprinkle on your own spices.
This Is A Circle
Every morning I wake up to a giant piece of ceiling stucco above me. It is centered over my bed and 4 feet wide, so I don’t even have to twist my head to see it. Hello, good morning, it says to me. I’m still here.
Lately I’ve been rising earlier than my alarm, so I lie awake in the morning sun tracing the circle with my eyes, practicing the shape over and over, as if I were training for something, perhaps a professional circle drawing contest.
So, as I frequently do with things stuck in my brain, I put this circle on paper, cave man style and to the power of 10. Yowza.

Mark Jacobs and I are in the midst of a Kickstarter effort to make more Goodie Monsters, so we are offering rewards for people who support the project. This reward is a gray American Apparel T-shirt with a hungry monster character on it. Locally screen-printed in Portland, Oregon, the shirt is available in Men’s, Women’s, and Toddler/Youth sizes.
Is he waiting for cherries and plums to fall from the sky into his gaping maw? Is he letting out a giant monster burp after having eaten too many fig bars? Is he merely bellowing his appreciation of healthy snacks? All of the above! To get a monster t-shirt and support us, check out the campaign on Kickstarter.

At long last, Mark Jacobs and I have been hard at work the last few months working on figuring out the next steps for the Goodie Monster. Now, we are ready to raise money to make more Goodie Monsters and share more healthy snacks with people. We’re really excited about this and hope that you are to, so check out our campaign on Kickstarter.
Goodie Monster Plans Afoot
Last year my friend Mark and I made the first ever Goodie Monster. Since then, we have been planning, scheming, dreaming, plotting, and strategizing our next move. The last few months have been full of big ideas for what the future might hold for the Goodie Monster.
The long and the short of it is, we want to make more Goodie Monsters that will serve happy and healthy snack food to passerbys, and we have been working on making that come to fruition. Here is a sneak peek of some of our thoughts that culminated in our soon-to-be-launched Kickstarter Campaign. Stay tuned!
