One of my absolute favorite blogs, Cupcakes and Cashmere got it so right with this recipe for homemade sweet potato chips! They are so simple and so tasty. Use your favorite creamy dip for these. I like to make my own dip that's just plain greek yogurt with garlic salt mixed in. Have some of the spring Vidalia onions left from last week? Chop finely and mix right into your dip!
Ingredients:
2 large sweet potatoes
vegetable oil
sea salt
your favorite season-all

I love using apples in sandwiches, especially granny smith apples! Their tartness gives great flavor to savory dishes. I put them in turkey sandwiches with smoked cheddar and I chop them up finely along with onions and mix into my tuna salad. How do you use apples on the savory side?
Check out Minimalist Baker's rendition of a yummy grilled cheese sandwich! Doesn't this look amazing?
Wellp, Miss Paula Dean has done it again. I think this dip would make a great lunch, appetizer or snack. I know it's too col to be out there grilling, but I know that doesn't slow many of you down. For those of you who don't grill in this weather, you should own a grill pan anyway or a panini press will do the trick!
