Sometimes you feel like a snack...

Most of the time I don't, but after our last stop at Trader Joe's, we have a choice of several. Someone mentioned salt and vinegar potato chips on here the day we shopped. I had not had any in a long time and Anne likes them too, so into the basket they went. But wait, what's this? Parsnip Chips? Hey, that sounds healthy, low sodium, veggies too, only 120 calories from 12 chips; we got those too and they are delicious! Well, we were out of the Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies we keep around and had to have more of those. Then there are the Sea Salt Brownies, can't live without one of those (little ones) a day. Oh, and those Triple Ginger Cookies that Anne has one of each morning were almost gone too. I mowed the swampy lawn this afternoon, since it was not raining, but will the next two days, so I am indulging in a Sierra Nevada IPA and a few Parsnip chips now. I earned it. Had to edit since I forgot the incredible Coffee Glazed Almonds!

I have never heard of parsnip chips. I will have to check and see if we have them here. Sounds like you picked up a few good snacks.

Probably too many. We already have a large bag of corn chips.

Parsnip chips! We will have to look for those. Some don't care for parsnips, but we really enjoy them.

How do you cook them ? I am not wild about the flavor of fresh parsnips, but these chips are great!

I never had parsnip chips but however i tasted chips made out of breadfruit,cassava,taro and sweet potato. I quite liked the taste but i think nothing can match my potato chips. Haha.

I bought parsnip chips and also beet chips, but to be honest I still prefer the classic potato chips.

@JamesHxstatic My husband saw the beet chips and he could not refrain from buying them. Then I am the one who has to finish the bag. I also like the kettle style chips.

Beet chips? Those I have not seen and would be reluctant to try. Beets are one of the only things I do not like to eat. Potato chips are wonderful things, especially the kettle style.

@LadyDuck He did not care for the beet chips I guess. I would toss them.

@JamesHxstatic I LOVE it!! First you talk healthy like Parsnip Chips (would you stop at 12???) and next you are talking about Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies (not really healthy!)

We all deserve a treat sometimes, don't we? I don't like parsnips, so wouldn't like chips flavoured with them.

Wow! You do have a great selection of snacks to choose from! I made some parsnip chips things once and they were very morish. The sweet potatoes ones were nice too. They were quite easy to do - thinly sliced then baked basically. I don't know why I don't make them more often.

Does "morish"mean that they make you want more? Sweet potato chips are good too.
