Pinterst Interest: Potato Fries, Acorns, and Apple Yummies

Above is my version of the Potato fries. The directions were simple: slice a potato thinly (but not all the way), brush with olive oil, add whatever spices you would like (I chose Creole), and then cook at 400 degrees for about an hour (I forgot about them so I don't know how long they cooked for). 

The verdict: Amazing! I had fun eating them, they were super easy to make, and they were healthy. I ate half for lunch and for dinner I dipped them in non fat, greek plain yogurt (a great sub for sour cream). I also put some fat free chesse on top of the last few. Yumm!!

Above is my "Acorns". Use icing to glue a chocolate kiss to a food disk... I can't remember what they are called... nilla wafers? Well, glue them together and glue a baby kiss on top. 

The verdict: This project took me three hours (granted, I made nearly 300 for a church pic nic). They tasted good, but they didn't really look the same as they did on the pinterest site. Unwrapping all the kisses was a tiring process, and it was hard to conceal the icing glue. I am glad I tried this one, but probably won't make it again... or at least not until I have children and want to teach them about squirrels. 

Above are my apple snacks! Wow what a winner! I cored an apple, spread almond butter on top, and garnished with a low sugar trail mix. On a couple of the apples, I just sprinkled with cinnamon. I loved this snack because it was easy, quick, and healthy. It gave me the energy I needed and was really filling. I am curious how it would travel though. It might be a better snack to enjoy at home rather than trying to tote it around at work. I will most certainly make it again though!
