Craving chips?


Back in the saddle today with a yummy healthy lunch: split pea soup, potato chips and pear salsa. That's right, you read correctly: potato chips. Made from scratch. Only 100 calories. Slice an entire potato very thinly (I used Yukon Gold). Spray baking sheet with no-stick stuff. Place potatoes on baking sheet like cookies. Lightly salt. Bake at 400 degrees, 10 minutes, then flip, re-salt and bake for an additional 5 minutes. The salsa was just cubed ripe pear, lime juice and cilantro. And, no, I did not dip the salted chips in the sweet salsa. --Melissa

  2. Melissa, you are a culinary genius. I'm sick and nothing taste good. I tried a spicy mexican soup and I tossed it. Couldn't taste a thing. Maybe salty potato chips would do the trick.
