Veggie chips are great because you get more than just potatoes: any solid vegetable can be made into a chip! I made it with beets, zucchini, turnip, and carrot, and sweet potato (and a regular potato, just to be sneaky!) but you could use anything: parsnips, pepper, and anything else that can be sliced on a mandolin. I stared longingly at my cauliflower (my absolute favourite vegetable), but somehow I thought it might not work as well. There are a lot of summer vegetables that work very well with this recipe, but it would also be great in the doldrums of winter when all you have to eat is parsnip: hey, why not fry it?

And they can be made with ingredients that any baker will already have on her shelf, which is a definite plus. These crispy, chewy cookies have a serious cinnamon taste and a creamy flavour.

They require very few ingredients and allow for a lot of creativity. My mom always says that the party is always in the kitchen and when you're making crepes, it definitely is. Crepes are best served immediately out of the pan—when I make them, my housemates stand around the kitchen chatting, waiting for a hot, sugary pancake to fall into their hands.

There is a grocery/dry goods store in Toronto that sells only Japanese stuff. A giant Hello, Kitty is painted on the outside brick wall. When you go into the store you behold a truly astonishing array of flavours of Pocky. I don't really get it, but my kids both love the Japanese snack Pocky.

My daughter that suggested tortilla chips were something she would like to learn how to make, so I asked Rebecca Vandevelde, who has worked in Mexican restaurants, for some help. She sent me instructions that were so well thought out and articulated, that I'm just going to turn the rest of the post over to her.
