Sweet Nachos

How I came across the best, healthiest, and most delicious snacks ever discovered is a simple "plane" story. We were flying home on Porter flights from Toronto Island airport, and they offered us some bags of chips as snacks. I was reluctant to pick the chips, thinking that it is probably the least nutritious option. That idea died as soon as I had the first few crunchy apple chips!

I can now think of so many recipes where I can use a tastier and healthier version of traditional potato chips, and this recipe is just the beginning.

Ingredients:

- 40 gr apple chips - I used Martin's Apple chips

- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

- About 1/4 cup of each of your desired toppings: diced Granny Smith apples, diced strawberries, almonds, golden raisins




Directions:

- To melt the white chocolate chips, place them in the microwave for 10-12 seconds, until they are soft, but still hold their shapes. Then remove from the microwave and soften with a fork.

- Make a piping bag out of ziploc bag and fill with the white chocolate. This makes it easier to spread the chocolate all over your nachos.

- Simply layer your apple chips, pipe some chocolate and add your toppings. Repeat until you finish all ingredients.

You can add some "Dipping sauce" on the side. I used Vanilla favoured Greek Yogurt. You can also use whipped cream, honey, or more melted chocolate. Have fun making your own Sweet Nachos!

This recipe is fun, and super easy, and great for parties, and I bet your guests will love to see and taste Nachos at a whole new level!

Koko Sabzi: Persian herb fritatta

Koko Sabzi is traditional Persian dish, served as appetizer or side dish. You could certainly enjoy this as your main dish, which is what we when I made this for dinner.

The traditional recipe is only made with eggs and herbs. I thought some colour and crunch would make this more fun and suitable as the main dish.







Ingredients:
2  cups chopped herbs- dill, cilantro, parsley, green onion (use only the green part)
1/2 cup feta cheese
3 Large eggs
1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted is even better!)
1/4 cups dried barberries ( or dried chopped cranberries)
2 tbs olive oil
salt and paper  as needed (I didn't use any salt because the feta is already salty)

Directions:
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl

- Add 1 to 2 tbs vegetable oil to heated pan
- Pour the mixture into the pan
- Cook on medium low for about 4 minutes, until it is firm enough to flip
- Flip to cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes


















Enjoy!
