Momma's Chili



Momma's Chili, cantaloupe, pineapple, and a strawberry

Momma invited us to dinner yesterday because she was making chili.  We watched dancing with the stars and had a great time.  She was surprised that the entire pot of chili was just about gone by the time we left.  But what could she expect when everyone had seconds and even thirds.  So I sent some with Mani for lunch today.

Homemade Potato Chips

turkey w/jelly sandwich, homemade potato chips, and pineapple

I made the potato chips in the microwave.  I sliced a potato using a mandolin, then to remove some of the starch and help make them crispy I washed the potato slices and let then let them soak in water.  I placed them on top of a piece of parchment paper, sprinkled some with salt and some with garlic power and microwaved until a little brown and crispy.

I'm trying to eliminate as much salt as possible from my diet.  So I made the ones with salt on them for Mani and to my surprise he only liked the ones with the garlic powder.   WINNING!!!
