Every once in and while there is a ‘viral’ recipe that I just have to try. I came across this snack recipe from the creator Kaelah on TikTok and it has everything I love in a snack. It’s crunchy with the potato chips, it’s tangy because of the cheese, and sweet with the balsamic – it’s literally perfect! It’s also so freaking easy to make – with 3 ingredients – it’s a win/win! I paired it with sitting outside and a nice Pinot Grigio.

Ingredients

  • Kettle Cooked Potato chips, salted [I used salt & vinegar because they are the best kind]
  • Any funky blue cheese [Gorgonzola, Blue Cheese, Roquefort]
  • Balsamic Vinegar

Let’s Get Cooking

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread out your chips onto a single layer. What’s great about this recipe is you can make as much or as little as you need!

Sprinkle your gorgonzola cheese over the chips and broil on HIGH until the edges of the chips start to brown and the cheese gets melty.

Remove from the oven and drizzle over your balsamic vinegar, mix to coat.

& that’s it!

Pair with a nice glass of white wine, share with friends or don’t!

Potato, Cauliflower, & White Bean Soup

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Potato, Cauliflower, & White Bean Soup

Hi, it’s been a minute. I’ve had to take the time to focus on studying for the National Counselor Exam (NCE) and I unfortunately, had to step away from the blog for a little but I am back! I am so excited to be back into my hobbies and doing the things I love. I found this recipe from the New York Times Cooking website; it caught my eye because of the soup being topped with sour cream & onion chips. The recipe calls for the soup to be made in a slow cooker, but I made it in a stock pot and it came out AMAZING. I top mine with extra cracked black pepper, cheese, & of course potato chips. This soup has such a different taste and it’s so creamy, it’s an automatic new favorite.

Ingredients:

  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 LB Yukon Gold Potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, and cut into 1in chunks
  • 1 LB Cauliflower, chopped into large bite-sized florets and stems
  • 2 15oz Cans Cannellini beans, drained
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion, minced
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, smashed & minced
  • 3 1/2 Cups Vegetable Stock
  • 3 TBSP Unsalted Butter
  • 2 TBSP Dry White Wine
  • 1/2 TSP Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 TSP Garlic Powder
  • 1 TSP Lemon Juice
  • 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt [ recipe calls for sour cream but I like the tang of the yogurt ]
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Sour cream & onion potato chips, for topping
  • Shredded cheddar, for topping

Let’s Get Cooking

Prep all your ingredients beforehand, chopping the onion, potatoes, cauliflower, and garlic.

In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil and add in the garlic + onion and let saute for about 2-4 min. Once fragrant, add in the potatoes + cauliflower. Let the vegetables cook for about 8 minutes on MED heat.

Add in the beans + vegetable stock + butter + thyme + garlic powder + dry white wine + salt + pepper and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a boil and allow to simmer for about 1 hour or until all the vegetables are soft. Using a potato masher, mash the vegetables until the soup has a chunky texture, allow to cook for another 30 minutes.

Using a blender, blend the soup [ in batches if you need to ] and return to the pot. Stir in the lemon juice + greek yogurt/sour cream. Top with more black pepper.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese & sour cream & onion chips!

Homemade Potato Chips

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Homemade Potato Chips

The ULTIMATE weekend snack, potato chips. The best part is you can make them at home [no need to put on a mask] & you know everything that’s in them! Now that I’ve achieved potato chips at home, quarantine is getting slightly easier.

Ingredients

  • Mandoline slicer
  • Potatoes
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Salt

Let’s Get Cooking

This is just about one of the easiest recipes, ever.

Break out your Mandoline slicer and set it on the smallest setting, to about 1/3-1/4 in. Carefully slice the potatoes and place into ice water to remove the starches. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.

While waiting, pour the oil into a deep pot and bring up to temperature, about 300F.

Once the potatoes are finished soaking, lay them out on paper towels & pat off all the excess water.

Place a few chips in the oil, making sure that they do not stick together. Flip the slices around a few times to ensure that they are evenly cooked. Once there are less bubbles and the chips look brown, remove from the oil and place on a paper towel.

Pat of excess oil + place in a bowl + sprinkle with salt, & enjoy!

It’s the little thing in life, like homemade potato chips that make things look a little bit brighter!
