If you are like me, you are careful of what you eat, well… most of the time. So when you watch a movie, or spend a night in, and you feel the urge for something salty, comforting and good, like chips… here’s the alternative. These baked potatoes will satisfy your urges and will keep you happy. Homemade chips taste even better than grocery stores chips! I have to be honest here, I thought that when I bought these potatoes, they were sweet potatoes(dumb moment). I actually planned on making baked sweet potatoes, when I cut the first sliced I was like… Uh-oh. But they turned out very delicious. You can make this recipe with whatever potatoes you feel like eating. But sweet potatoes must be better…I’ll make sure I buy the right potatoes next time…

  • 2-3 medium-size potatoes, sliced in 1/4 inch-thick(or whatever quantity you feel like)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chili powder(or whatever other spice you like)
  • Salt

First, preheat oven at 400° and line two baking sheet.

Make sure to wash well the potatoes before slicing them. In a large bowl, put potato slices and add the olive oil, chili powder and salt. Toss with your hands to combine.

Spread out potato slices on baking sheets and then place one baking sheet in the center of the oven and the other on the bottom. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until crispy on the outside and little bit soft in the middle. Flip potato chips halfway through. Let dry for 5 minutes and sprinkle with a little bit of more salt. Put them in a bowl and serve!

My go to breakfast is usually oatmeal with fruit and a toast. When I stumbled upon this recipe the other day I was so happy. This is the perfect healthy breakfast! I did it with blueberries and bananas but you can do it with any of your favorites fruits. I like to eat blueberries in the morning because it’s a good antioxidant so I followed the original recipe by Skinnytaste.  This is a great healthy breakfast and it’s the perfect start for a day. Enjoy!

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup fat free milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 375° F.

Place the bananas on the bottom of a 8 x 8 inches ceramic baking dish in one single layer. Sprinkle half of the blueberries on top of the bananas and then add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, 1tbsp of honey and cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes.

Combine and stir the quick oats, half of the nuts, baking powder, remaining cinnamon and salt in a bowl. In a different bowl, combine the remaining honey, milk, egg and vanilla. Whisk.

If there’s still time before the bananas are cooked dance to the new No Doubt song.

 

Now, get the bananas out of the oven and pour the oatmeal mixture over and then pour the milk  mixture after. Try to distribute it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries and walnut on top. Don’t drop the rest of the blueberry package like I did.
