Apple Cider Cupcakes with Chai Icing!

You know you work at Teavana when… Well I flavored the cupcakes with apple lemon pomegranate rooibos tea, and used maharaja chai oolong for the icing. Crushed german rock sugar for sprinkles. They may be messy, but are damn delicious if I do say so myself.

Kale Chips

So I just made my first attempt at kale chips… And they were SO GOOD that I ate them all and didn’t take any pictures. My bad. But they’re probably my new favorite snack, who knows, I might even make more tonight. Yeah, they were that good. So plenty of pictures to come. If you want to try them yourself though-

1) Rip kale leaves away from stem
2) Toss in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt and pepper
3) Lay them out on a baking sheet
4) Bake at 350 for 10 minutes 

Simple, healthy and delicious. My three favorite things. Oh, and inexpensive.

Tortilla chips!

They are tasty and come in any flavour you want.

Here’s what you need:

-Pack of soft shell whole grain tortilla wraps

- Canola/vegetable/olive oil (whatever you have is fine)

- A variety of spices. The combinations we used were 

a) Crushed chili, paprika and a bit of seasoning salt

b) Garlic and onion powder

c) Straight seasoning salt

d) Cinnamon and brown sugar

1) Preheat oven to 400

2) Spread one teaspoon of your cooking oil all over the tortilla

3) add your spices. If your powdery spices clump up or come out funny, use a spoon to scrape and spread evenly over tortilla

4) Cut tortilla up into eighths

5) Bake for ten minutes. Stay by your oven and check them every 2-3 minutes, or else they will burn.

6) Place onto plate and allow to cool.

7) Feast. These can also be enjoyed with hummus, and are a good alternative to potato chips.

Kris and I liked the cinnamon sugar ones the best, they tasted like Autumn.Try them and tell us how you seasoned your chips!

My mom used to make these for me all the time, so easy and SUCH a better alternative to chips.
