Brussel Sprout Chips

A healthy Alternative to regular chips.

Not a brussel sprout lover?

Ya, neither am I.

Until...

I had these amazing brussel sprout chips!

Salty, crunchy, and healthy! 

Brussel Sprout Chips:

• 10 Brussel sprouts
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon Salt
• 1 garlic clove or 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)

Pre heat oven to 350 º Tear out outer leaves off.  Once you get to the inner part where it's harder to peal start cutting and soon it should just fall apart.  Massage the leaves with olive oil. on baking sheet  Add salt and garlic.  Bake for 10 minutes or until crunchy.  Enjoy!

Red Hibiscus Lemon Tea

I'm ashamed to be so obsessed with this tea... 

I've only had like 6 cups... in the last two days....

I have this tree, 

It's has lovely red leaves

The leaves taste good

These leaves, make wonderful tea.

And I am ashamed to say... I am obsessed with the red leaf hibiscus tea. 

A friend of ours was telling us how her hibiscus was over growing but she didn't mind because the tea tasted so good!  She gave us a little bitty piece and now it's

 grown

 Enormous!

Well I'm exaggerating a bit... but it has gotten quite big if I say so myself. 

~Red Hibiscus Lemon Tea~
Ingredients:
10 leaves or 1 cup 
1/2 a cup of sugar (optional) (Add more or less depending on how sweet you like it)
Half a medium lemon
2 cups of water

Boil to cups of water
Add leaves
Let steep, keep stove on low heat (Tea should be a light red)
Add sugar
Add Lemon
Enjoy!

Tip: You can substitute the Lemon and Sugar for the dry lemonade powder.  Works great! 
Tip: Don't like lemon flavor?  Just steep leaves in water!
Tip: Sweet Red Hibiscus tea?  Just water, leaves, and sugar!

I LOVE Pinterest! 

Pinterest is a website where you can pin different ideas, recipes, diy's, hair, clothing, etc...!  Basically, you creat a board and name it.  For Example, one of the names of my board is "I'm in Love....with food", Great name right?  Totally explains my personality.  Back to what I was saying.... You create a board and pin different recipes unto that board.  I have learned so many Do it yourself Ideas and have found a TON of recipes.  There's also many funny, inspiring, happy quotes on Pinterest.  My Words of Wisdom board is defiantly one of my favorites!
