There is not much I like better when it comes to the ultimate combo of sweet and salty than sea salt and caramel. This is basically a smoothie or “milkshake” version of the Sea Salt and Caramel “Nice” Cream recipe here on the blog and it is crazy amazing, if I do say so myself! However, this is even easier to make so I can indulge my sweet/salty cravings in an instant! This makes the perfect healthy treat and is better, healthier, cheaper than any Salted Caramel thing you can find at your local Starbucks (minus…

Sweet potato “chips” are one of my favorite snacks. They are a comfort food. Satisfying and tasty. I have “chips” in parentheses because no matter how hard I try, I can’t get them perfectly crispy or like the pics in the magazines. I don’t have a fancy slicer to get them paper thin, which I believe is what you need to get them crispy all over. But you know what? I. don’t. care. They are so good the way I make them, kind of half chewy, half crispy. I like to switch up the flavors too. You can make a…
