I miss the crunch!

Anyone else miss the crunch of a potato chip?  I love potato chips but don't like the unhealthy version. So I am on a quest to replace my chips with a healthier version. 

Tonite I tried to make some out of sweet potatos.  No oil, baked not fried.  It's gonna take some tweaking if I am making them for more than just me.  Ok, I burned most of them.  However, some survived and I had them for a snack. 

Here is the recipe:
1 scrubbed and washed sweet potato.
Salt
Pepper
Water

Slice the sweet potato thin (I used a mandolin )
Put them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle with water
Salt and pepper to taste
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes
After 20 minutes, check them and flip them
Bake 20 more minutes.  Watch them!
Cool and store in air tight container If you have any leftover.

Rhubarb

Rhubarb happens to be a family treat around here. Unfortunately we don't have enough good sun in our yard to grow a good crop. So we rely on friends and family for the bulk of what we eat. Oh well! Yesterday, Jeff, Jenna and I went out to the farm and gathered rhubarb there. It may be the last time we are at Jeff's grandparents farm as it has been sold. His mom advised us not to take all of the rhubarb- not a problem! I was surprised to see how much was there. It was a stock I had not known about! WOW! Anyway, here are some pictures of what we gathered and the farm in general. Jeff had lots of good times there as a child. I am sure he has many memories! Enjoy!

Sick day brings new ideas

It's Saturday afternoon and I am stuck on the couch with a bug.  Left work Thursday feeling like I  just wanted to crawl into bed and hibernate til march.  So now I am feeling a little better but not wanting to push it.  Options?  Binge watch netflix, read, stare at ceiling or explore podcasts.  I decided to explore podcasts.  Found a couple that interest me.  Revelation wellness, Dave Ramsey and Vegetarian Zen.  Ah. That's the one! Being a vegetarian is important for me, however I will tell you I struggle with variety and quickness.  So I tuned into Vegetarian Zen for a freezer cooking basics podcast.  Looking forward to see what I come up with. Maybe my family with enjoy them too? Next up, a pinterest exploration for ideas!!
