peel your jicama and slice as thin as you can!!

saute your jicama chips on both sides....until slightly brown!

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8461/7...f1650b23a4.jpg

once they start to brown, sprinkle with cinnamon and splenda...
or powdered stevia or sweetener of choice.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8316/7...5a9d5577f4.jpg

flip your slices and cover the other side with cinnamon splenda too!!

BOTH are very good choices.

if you are strictly IP, then only use evoo...or ask your coaches advice and do as your coach suggests because working with your own coach and being on the same page is very important.

i do not have a coach. all of the ipees here are MY coaches!! :grouphug:

i am planning to eat paleo following my ip journey, so am incorporating some good choices now that will carry my through my lifetime....like coconut oil, coconut milk, almond milk and occasionally some nuts like pumpkin seeds and almonds.

i suggest looking online for health benefits of each and then making your own choice as to what is best for you!! :)

here is one link to get you started in your research!! good luck!!

Good morning Rainbow!!! Thanks for the cookies link, why didn't I check your thread?? Duh!!!! Do you think the cookies recipe would work with a pudding packet instead of a drink packet? Going to make them right now and report back!! Xoxoxoxoxo. Hope your bike ride was awesome!!! My Trek Navigator is loving me right now, back on the saddle baby!!

they were golden and had crispy edges...and a tiny bit chewy in the middle...the flavor was delicious, but the aftertaste that i taste in the puddings was still there....so i didn't care for them...however, DH came home and LOVED them and ate them all!!!! so i will be waiting to hear your results!!!

i love the wildberry yogurt cookies!!!

just made your cappucino cookies...boy are they CRISPY!!! got 6 huge cookies!!!
i think this is the best cookie recipe!!! i dont know why, but each time i make a cookie from the drink, the texture and crispiness are always different!!
but these are AWESOME!!!!!

keeping with my try something NEW each week....this week is
ZUCCHINI CHIPS!!

i have to tell you....i am NOT a huge zucchini fan...i do like it in soup...but not cooked alone or even roasted. so i was super super skeptical. and 2 hours of time invested!!! fortunately the oven does most of the work!!!

i had to practically FORCE myself to slow down from gobbling them up!!

i love savory things!! and i love crunchy things!! and omg...these were so delicious!!!!

MOVE OVER LOVE OF MY LIFE KALE CHIPS....theres a NEW CHIP in my life!! hahahaha and his name is SIR ZUCCHINI CHIP!!!!

:cp: :chef: ZUCCHiNi CHiPS :chef: :cp:

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8436/7...ecf08d1e5a.jpg

i just made some for the first time ever in my life....after reading about others making them using their dehydrator and me coveting everyone's dehydrator...i thought i'd make some in the oven.

here was my inspiration:
http://cookingwithmichele.com/2011/0...ucchini-chips/

i used my mandolin and sliced the zucchini nearly paper thin...
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8285/7...d605d4a3fb.jpg

i used parchment paper and a few were on the edge of the pan....divajen is NOT kidding, they stick like mad....so use parchment paper for sure!! i used a MISTO sprayer for a very light spray of EVOO. i added salt and pepper.

one medium zucchini made all these chips!!!

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8307/7...17c7cf2060.jpg

DO NOT OVER SALT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let me say that again....i thought i used only a wee bit and they were borderline too salty but OOOO SO GOOOD!!!

i Baked at 170....the lowest my oven would go, for 1 hour, then turned them all over, yes one by one!! DONT SKIP THIS STEP!! ....and baked another 50 mins (or more, ch3eck each 5 mins for crunchiness level) and they were crispy like potato chips....crunchy!!! YES!!!! i barely got one photo...before i gobbled them all up....1 zucchini made a whole pan but i can tell you, they were eaten in a few minutes!!!!!!!!! a skinny new york minute!!!! i will probably make some more for supper as this was a test run!!! i LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!!!

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8436/7...ecf08d1e5a.jpg
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmm... I shared this one with my sister today. Thanks again Rainbow!

thank you! these are amazing!! i had one wildberry pack left and i despised it but in cookie form it is so good. my boyfriend came home and thought i was making blueberry muffins lol.
