Grace is not eating much these days. When I say not eating much, what I really mean is that the only three healthy food items she’ll consent to eat are bananas, eggs, and cantaloupe.

I’m assuming that this is a phase and she’ll soon go back to eating a wider variety of foods.

The recipe that follows is one of my ploys to get nutrients into Grace’s belly without her knowing it. It works better that way.

Orange Chippies (also known as Baked Sweet Potato Chips)

Ingredients:

• 1 or 2 sweet potatoes, cleaned and skinned, if desired (I don’t desire. We eat the potato skins at my house.)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or a few spritzes of non-stick spray
• Salt or cinnamon sugar or pumpkin pie spice, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Cut the sweet potatoes into very thin slices, and arrange them on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
3. Drizzle with olive oil or spritz with non-stick spray.
4. Sprinkle with salt or cinnamon sugar or pumpkin pie spice.
5. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake another minute or two until they are a light golden brown and slightly crispy.
6. Serve warm or cold.
