Adventures
I never liked spinach until I made an adventurous decision to buy some at the grocery store anyways… and turn them into Oven Baked Spinach Chips.
Now, spinach is my new best veggie friend. It tastes sooo ridiculously good. Let’s start baking!
Ingredients
• Bucket load of spinach leafs. I am talking about handfuls here!
• A bit of extra virgin olive oil, to coat the leaves. You don’t need a lot - for 400 grams of spinach leaves, I used 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Herbs. I used pepper, curry powder, red pepper powder, garlic powder and thyme.
Directions
1. Preheat oven at 120°C / 250F,
2. Rinse and dry the spinach leafs,
3. Place spinach in a large bowl, pour in some olive oil to coat the leafs,
4. Add herbs, toss it all around,
5. Place some baking paper on a tray, and lay out the spinach nice and evenly,
6. Pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep checking on them until they’re crisp!
I could eat buckets of this stuff. Yum! Enjoy your crispy veggies. :)

I remember seeing this episode. I seriously want to do this one day!

Saw someone post this picture on my dashboard, and it made me go “Woah. I want green apple ice cream.” New flavor I’ve never tried. So I’m tempted to make some myself, google’d the recipe, and found it along with the picture I originally saw on my dashboard.
Now to spread some joy! Definitely trying this ASAP for cooling down on hot summer days :)
Green Apple Sorbet
Makes about 1.5 litres (6 cups)
Ingredients:
750g (1.6lbs) granny smith apples, unpeeled, cored, and quartered
juice of 1/2 a lemon
250ml (1 cup) water
375g (1.5 heaped cups) caster sugar
3 teaspoons calvados, optional
1/8 teaspoon liquid green food colouring, optional
Directions:
- Place the apples, lemon juice, water, and sugar in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook the apples until they are extremely soft, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Once the apples have cooled transfer them to a blender and blend until the mixture becomes a smooth puree. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve.
- Stir through the calvados and green food colouring, if using. Refrigerate the apple mixture until cold.
- Remove the mixture from the fridge and churn in an ice cream machine according to the manufacture’s instructions.
- Once adequately frozen, transfer the sorbet to a container, cover tightly, and place in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours.
How easy does that look? I absolutely cannot wait to try this. :)
Let me know how yours turn out!
