Homemade Sweet Potato Chips

Hey everybody out there that likes Potato chips. I have a new quick and easy chip recipe for you. This recipe has less salt and fat then any bagged chips out there. Usually after gymnastics I like to snack. My class is a hour long so I work up an appetite. Sometimes Im not in the mood for fruit. So if you want a healthier version of your favorite crunchy snack, check out the pictures below.

This recipe doesn't have many steps. So it is supper easy for kids of all ages.

First, have an adult help you peel a sweet potato. Once all of the skin is off, use the same potato peeler to make thin slices. In a large pan heat about a cup or two of oil. When the sweet potato slices are a light golden brown, remove them and put them on a paper towel. The paper towel will soak up the extra oil left on the chips. I dont eat my chips with salt, but feel free to sprinkle a little on the top. Once the chips are cool to the touch, crunch away and enjoy.

Vegan Butter Toffee

A friend of mine eats only Gluten free desserts. She asked me if I could make a Vegan, Gluten free cookie. So I decided to make an Almond Toffee Cookie. Instead of buying ready made toffee from the supermarket, I asked my mom to show me how to make it from scratch. I thought it was going to be hard, but it was actually really easy.

Ingredients: Dairy free butter, Sugar, Vanilla extract, salt, and water.


1- Add 1/2 Cup Butter
             1/2 Cup Sugar
             1 Tsp. Vanilla extract
              Pinch of Salt
              2 Tbsp. water
Into a saucepan, and bring to a boil on Med/High. It should take about 3-5 minutes.
Insert a candy thermometer to see when mixture reaches 300 degrees F. If you do not have a thermometer, my mom said that when the mixture is at 300 degrees, it will start to turn golden brown. So as soon as you notice it starting to golden brown, it is ready to be poured onto wax paper.

2- Once mixture is at 300 F pour onto wax paper and let cool. when mixture is hard, break into tiny pieces.


This toffee is sooo yummy. My cousin and I snacked on a few pieces and used the rest for the Gluten free almond toffee cookies that I will be posting soon. Enjoy!!
