HEALTHY CHIPS

By -
This is a very quick, simple recipe, and these chips are ideal as a snack, or with pre dinner drinks.

Potato chips are so unhealthy that I am always looking for healthier alternatives so that I have something not sweet to snack on during the day, and particularly at night.

These chip type snacks are made using a croissant and although these contain a lot of butter/fat, they are still much better than the much loved bought potato crisps.

You could also make this recipe with a bagel instead of a croissant, and both ways turn out good.

They are great to eat when you feel hungry in between meals, and there are only three ingredients needed for this recipe, and it is an unusual way to use a croissant!

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2 - 4 servings

Ingredients
1 croissant
Cooking spray
Salt

Method
Preheat the oven to 170° C, and line a baking tray with some baking paper.

Using a serrated bread knife, slice the croissant as thinly as possible from top to bottom.

Coat the croissant evenly on both sides with the oil spray, and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Sprinkle with salt and place in the oven and bake until lightly golden brown and beginning to crisp.  This will take between 8 -10 minutes, and they will crisp up more as they cool.

Also great as a snack on picnics.

POTATO SALAD WITH PEANUT BUTTER

By -

Potato salad makes a perfect side dish, or snack, however I ate this one with bread and some raw salad as a main meal. I often eat potato salad and you will find several recipes on my blog for different versions of potato salad. I like anything with potatoes in it and my recipes will reflect this - I far prefer potatoes to the sweeter, more healthy sweet potatoes! Potato salads are also great to take on a picnic with some thickly sliced buttered bread! This recipe has no mayonnaise in it like a conventional one, and is a nutty version of a conventional potato salad. Once again, I have used one of my favourites, peanut butter and I now always buy the "no added sugar" version of this amazing ingredient. Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Makes: 3 servings, as a main Ingredients 3 medium potatoes 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (I used a natural one which is not as sweet as supermarket ones) ½ tbsp whole grain mustard ½ tbsp vinegar 1 tbs

Pizza Toppings Using Leftovers

By -

I had family from Interstate, and did not have much in the house, so we decided to make our own pizzas.  These are far healthier than bought ones, and two of the people also had to eat dairy free, so I knew exactly what was in the pizzas. Pizzas are not really difficult to make, nor do they take a long time to make.  I usually make double the dough and freeze it so that I can just take it out of the freezer and make a pizza whenever I feel like it, or whenever I have leftovers! However, in this instance, I had no dough and was in a hurry so used a bought base, which is not as nice as my own! Pizzas are great as they can be made with whatever you have in the pantry, or the fridge, and the following are some suggestions for when you have unexpected visitors, or if you want a very tasty casual meal.  It is also a way to get children to eat vegetables, as they are often "hidden" when cut finely and cooked.  You could also put grated vegetables in the dough which children

Chicken with Walnuts and Hoisin Sauce

This is an interesting mixture of ingredients, and is both sweet and salty. I love food cooked using Hoisin sauce - this is the sauce that is used in Peking Duck which is one of my all time favourite foods.  It has an unusual taste, and goes very well with so many other ingredients, whether they are vegetarian or meat dishes. This meal has a rich and unusual flavour, and could be also served with steamed vegetables.  Cashew nuts could replace the walnuts if need be, however I had walnuts in my fridge so that is what I used in this instance. I served it over potatoes so that I could soak the sauce into the potatoes, and then I dipped fresh home made bread into the left over sauce!  This was delicious and well worth eating a bit less so you can fit this in. And remember, as I always say, my lovelies, do NOT over cook chicken breasts - they become dry and tough when overcooked.  If you JUST cook them so the pink is only just gone, they will be melt in your mouth delicious.
