summer chips

These are the naughtiest-tasting healthy veggie "chips" I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.

Ingredients:

1 summer squash

1 zucchini
2 eggs
1 cup panko (or breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup shredded cheese of choice 
Herbs of choice (I kept it simple with some salt and pepper)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

2. Chop or slice up your veggies. Coat slices in whisked eggs.

3. Dredge veggie slices in a mixture of panko and shredded cheese (and herbs/spices of choice).

4. Arrange slices spaced out on a baking sheet.

   
5. Top each slice with extra bread-cheese mixture (for an extra crunch). Drizzle olive oil over all slices. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper on tops of slices.

 6. Pop baking sheet into preheated oven for about 15 minutes.


7. Broil until crispy golden brown on top (about 7 minutes...but keep your eye on these bad boys, as they may burn easily!).

8. Divide among plates of those you really like (as these are not to be wasted on just anyone!) and enjoy!! Okay, so maybe this isn't a real step to some...but to me this is the most important one!

thursday culinary hop

Thursday was filled with celebrations and food...too much food!

House-made chips with bacon and onions at West End Johnnie's

Pulled pork sliders at Underbones

Fuzzy vision after eating too many chips and pork sliders

 After initial drinks and apps with co-workers for the work celebration, a few of us continued the culinary tour at Redbones' younger child Underbones. Underbones is the same menu and drinks but underground and looks more like a frat basement than a restaurant. We ordered chicken and pork sliders (not listed on the menu) with coleslaw on mini kaiser buns with their house margaritas. Unfortunately only nonalcoholic drinks of iced tea and lemonade were served in ball jars...I was jealous so now I have planned a summer get-together with ball jars with tasty drinks and close friends.

Now it's onto a healthy eating detox of all of the pulled pork and chips! Starting the day off right with a mushroom and baby spinach omelette.
