It's not that I don't love dessert and sweets because I do...especially anything chocolatey. It's just that when I'm really craving something, it's usually crackers or chips or fries or anything salty and fried. I guess you could say I have a salty/fat tooth instead of a sweet tooth.
In this hot summer heat wave we're having I'm constantly eating plenty of fruits, veggies and salads, so that's no problem. But today my salty/fat tooth was really acting up so I came up with a new "creation".
I happen to love brussels sprouts, but if you are one of those people who are horrified by the mere thought of them, consider yourself warned!
I separated a pound of them into leaves......
Misted them well with olive oil spray, sprinkled with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper....
Roasted them at 350* for 15ish minutes (stirring a few times) until they were browned and mostly crispy.
33 yr. old Son declared them "DISGUSTING!!"
I thought they were DELICIOUS! Crispy and cruncy and salty and delicious!
I ate the whole batch....because you're allowed to eat the whole batch of "chips" when the chips are 99.99% brussel sprouts!
Now what else can I make "chips" out of around here?........

That's an interesting food creation. :)
As for me, my craving is caffeine. I'm addicted to soda, what can I say? But I'm making an effort to reduce my intake by drinking more juice.
Mom...Did you save any for me? YUM!
I have not had pasta in forever because it's not a big thing herein Turkey- but I crave it every once in a while and it's sitting in front of me now!
Have you tried making sweet potato chips?
Beetroot chips. Not tried them yet, but the beets are growing well! Normally I just roast them and they are sweet and delicious, but the girls want to try something different. I made homemade potato chips last week by using the peeler to get thin slices of potato and fried them in a little olive oil, added a bit of sea salt and hey presto! They were really, really good!
