Orange Sweet Potato Baked Chips with Thyme at Cooking Melangery. Sweet potatoes and yams: True sweet potatoes are tuberous vegetables with light to deep-red skins and pale yellow to orange flesh.
The term yam is also incorrectly applied to sweet potatoes in US, most often when referring to the darker-skinned, orange-fleshed variety. In fact, true yams are a very large tuberous vegetable eaten in Africa and the Caribbean. Sweet potatoes contain more beta-carotene than carrots plus vitamin C and fiber. In contrast, true yams have no beta-carotene. Ingredients: 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces), scrubbed 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp orange zest 1/4 tsp salt freshly ground pepper 1 tsp thyme Directions: Heat the oven to 325°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Slice the sweet potato into very thin rounds using a mandoline slicer. Mix together olive oil and orange zest in a small bowl. Bake one sheet at a time until the edges of the chips curl up, the centers are just golden brown, and the tops are dry to the touch, about 20 minutes.
Dollar Store Mom - Frugal Fun - Crafts for Kids. Today’s post is a lesson in improvisation.
Why? Well, this project was INTENDED to be a candy tray, a fancy version of something I saw done flawlessly at Tutto Bella. After reading through that tutorial, I thought it would be a breeze! Famous last words, right? Now, if I was a crafting perfectionist, or blogging perfectionist, or if I’d had two more cups of coffee today, maybe I’d've tried a second time to make my vision work…but I’m not, I’m not, and I didn’t. Supplies: candy canes- $1 for twelveold fashioned hard candies- $1starlight mints- $1 for a bag, I used just one for this particular project Unwrap the candy canes and starlight mint and arrange on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes, but watch it closely the whole time!! Then I realized it was still quite hot and pretty pliable, so I quickly grabbed a bowl, turned it upside down and placed the whole thing on top. Hotdogtopus! I am in the great land of Wisconsin with my two adorable little nieces, and what better thing to do for a food craft that Hotdogtopus, the hot dog octopus!
This is a super easy way to make meal time fun for the little ones. Honestly, it's about the only reason I would ever want a hot dog, but the kids love 'em. ALso, you have a lot of serving options, and they are easy enough to make that you can do these special for the kids while you have some more adult fare on your own plate. You will need: Hot dogs (I prefer the "bun length" as they give you more room to work with) a sharp knife pot of boiling water See?
Take each hot dog and cut 2/3 into "legs". I Found Fish Bones In The Egg! Did you notice that I used lots of eggs and ketchup on this blog? Here comes another egg/ketchup creation! This one really can't be any easier. It took me only 1 extra minute to turn a ordinary sunny side up into this fun breakfast! These are all you need!
