As for the zucchini ...Thanks for all the advice!! <br /><br />As for the zucchini chips, the key is to slice them REALLY thin and make sure each is brushed evenly with olive oil. Then just pop them on a greased cookie sheet in the oven at 400 -- when they start to crisp on one side, flip them. <br /><br />Enjoy!Julie(t) Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580711990229630405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923856472663319590.post-86539865067440004532010-03-10T08:22:04.734-06:002010-03-10T08:22:04.734-06:00Please tell me how you made those zucchini chips ...Please tell me how you made those zucchini chips so crispy!? Just on the grill??! They look FANTASTIC!<br /><br />I used to have such a hard time integrating the 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies you are supposed to eat every day. I think that most people (me included sometimes)overestimate the serving size of a fruit/vegetable and think they have to eat massive amounts of fruits/veggies to reach the 5-7 servings. In reality, most of the times you're eating fruits/veggies, you are probably eating 2-3 servings without realizing it! The one cup of raspberries you are putting on your ice cream is actually two servings of fruit! Mission accomplished!<br /><br />The trick for me was to start planning my meals around my vegetables/grains instead of around my meat. This made me feel so free for some reason! Now I pick what grain and vegetables I want to eat and if a meat fits into the meal I have it, if not, I don't. I eat about 1/2 the meat I used to eat and twice the veggies I used to eat now!<br /><br />The other thing is to sneak vegetables into anything you can! I make pasta salads full of fresh vegetables and then eat it OVER a bed of spinach. Or I make smoothies in the afternoon for a snack full of fruit and sometimes spinach (you can't taste it at all!). For a snack I'll have celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins on top!LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512649708532717389noreply@blogger.com
