Banana Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie. When I lived in a tiny, but undeniably lovely apartment in Montreal, I spent most of my time around the kitchen table baking, eating, or working. I spent my mornings and evenings in the kitchen, discovering a passion for food in the sugar jar and the heat of the oven. The kitchen was minuscule, incapable of even holding a refrigerator, but the dark, wooden table and the large open windows made the space feel like a home. I wasn't the only one who had the same feelings. A small mouse moved in, making a nest in a hole behind the stove. My roommate was the first to spot the visitor, as he scampered into hiding once his secret had been found out. On the second night of my mother's visit, we sat around the kitchen table enjoying spaghetti squash and fresh figs. My mother, to her credit, still slept on the futon.
It was a few days more until I spotted the mouse for myself. Then the reality of having a mouse in the house hit me. I moved away before the saga of the mouse had come to a head. Quick and Easy Pizza Bread. Today I’m bringing one of my favorite Grandma recipes to the blog. I mean that literally this a real recipe, from my very real and wonderful Grandma, adapted a weensy bit and now being formally presented to you, blog friends. We got together with my grandparents not too long ago and my grandma just “happened to have a bag” of these little frozen pizzas in a cooler in her car (obvi), so when lunchtime hit she just turned on the oven and popped these bad boys in for a quick and easy lunch, showing me the beautiful art of providing a family meal that keeps everyone happy without batting an eyelash.
Can you say diva? Grandma, you amaze me. I asked her at least 500 times how she made them again? And the next week I got a sweet card in the mail with the handwritten recipe enclosed. I love you Grandma! This recipe is so-very-friendly. Good news: Want more veggies? Oh, because by the way, we DID buy a house, and yes, we ARE still planning to live there. Juuust right. In other words, Yum. Serves: 8. Spicy Baked Flaxseed Tortilla Chips Recipe. This summer I’m on a mission to help my kids understand the difference in flavors between processed and homemade foods and why it is hard to replicate certain types of favorite snack (junk) foods based on flavor profiles alone. You might be reading this and be saying, “duh!” But give me a minute to explain. Most kids I know love packaged snacks.
Hecks, I love a certain type of tortilla chips that start with the letter “D” because of the artificial flavor even though they stain my fingers a frightening colored orange. Although I don’t buy those chips at the store, it’s hard for me to resist a few chips at picnics and barbeques. There is nothing more frustrating when I go out of my way to make something very tasty only to have one of my kids say, “it doesn’t taste like (fill in the blank). In all fairness to my kids, I know they appreciate all the food I make from our family kitchen. Tonight I made these Zesty Baked Tortilla Chips aka Spicy Baked Flaxseed Tortilla Chips. Prep time: Curried Sweet Potato Chips. You know in cartoons, when there is some odor drifting down some alleyway, and the animator makes it come alive, and it twists and turns, stalking the Elmer Fudd or Bugs or Daffy, and becomes this living being on the screen?
I always imagine that smell to be curry. It is so pungent and strident—it has to be a living thing of its own. Made mostly of yellow, earthy turmeric, smoky cumin, and grassy coriander, plus a hint of something with heat, curry powder doesn't take any prisoners. What else has that much personality, or makes such an impression? I love these sweet potato chips, because they mix that spicy heat and earthy fire with the sweetness of sweet potato.
