Baked Zucchini Chips

Baked Zucchini Chips
Well I said last week that I'd probably be up to my old tricks by now. But much to my own surprise, I decided to try another 'healthy' recipe I've been thinking about - zucchini chips! If you ever look at the sidebar of my blog that lists 'popular recipes' you will see that Apple Chips are number one. They have been for a while now, but the funny part is that they are number one by a landslide. Mr. This fact is absurdly evident by a bar graph that shows the top 10 posts' all-time number of views... basically one long bar, with a whole bunch of short ones beneath it. Up until this week (when Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips suddenly blew up on Pinterest) the Apple Chips had four times more views than the 2nd most popular post. So... in light of people's apparent interest in this recipe, Mr. And the next, most logical thing that came to my mind was zucchini. To me, these chips taste kinda like thin & crispy pumpkin seeds. And the seasoning possibilities are endless - you can tailor them to your liking.

Branny Boils Over | Where Cooking, Creating, and Conversation Combine Sweet Potato Black Bean Burritos My blog is getting to the age where there are an awful lot of wonderful recipes buried deep in the annals of sub par photography and rushed recipe write-ups. Because we eat with our eyes, it is hard to imagine why anyone would attempt to make this recipe after viewing the first photo here. But they have. And everyone who has tried this meal loves it every bit as much as I do. It is a shame how many times I’ve made this recipe since initially posting that recipe without taking another photograph. The Omnivore generally covers these burritos with cheddar cheese while they bake in the oven and eats them with a fork and knife.

Perfect Iced Coffee Iced coffee is my life. When I wake up, often around the time party animals on the west coast are just heading home, I start each day not with a cup of freshly brewed hot java, but with a tall, blessed glass of creamy iced coffee in a glass. I’ve been an iced coffee freakazoid for years and years. To say I couldn’t live without it is an understatement. It gives me the tools I need to cope. Iced coffee is a complicated thing, and there are many different approaches. 1. Given the previous set of facts, one would assume that the logical solution would be to brew hot coffee, then transfer the brew to the fridge, allow it to cool, and use it to make iced coffee from there. There are reasons this method results in a smoother, richer, more delicious concentrate than simply brewing strong coffee and refrigerating it. (Note: I’ve totally adapted/tweaked coffee/water amounts to suit my own tastes. I start with a big ol’ container. Rip open a pound of ground coffee. Pour in the coffee. Glorious.

A Spoonful of Bacon | You probably shouldn't read any of this. Confectionery Liquorice candies in different colours in Jyväskylä, Finland M&Ms, chocolate with a colored sugar shell. Confectionery, or the making of confections, are food items that are rich in sugar. Confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.[1] Bakers' confectionery includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes sweets, candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, sweetmeats, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. Confectionery refers to the art of creating sugar-based dessert forms, or subtleties (subtlety or sotelty). The confectionery industry also includes specialized training schools and extensive historical records.[5] Traditional confectionery goes back to ancient times, and continued to be eaten through the Middle Ages into the modern era. Modern usage may include substances rich in artificial sweeteners as well. Nutrition[edit] Examples[edit]
