I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions, but I have made about 83 so far.
In no particular order, I’d like to stop picking my split ends, master baking, worry less, buy more candles, become a minimalist, read 40 books, exfoliate more and reduce my social media footprint just to name a few.
Twelve days in and I’m 0/83.
These resolutions really boil down to a common theme: becoming a healthier, more well-rounded Rachel. If successful, I’ll have healthier hair and skin, less clutter, a sound mind and a house that smells like Ina Garten’s on lemon tart day. Though self-absorbed, I have high hopes for myself this year!
Next year I’ll resolve to do something for the greater good, I promise.
Time: 1 hour (prep + cooking) | Serves: a bunch of chips
*Note – get a mandolin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s the arm workout I never knew I needed
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato, peeled + sliced thin
- 2 parsnips, peeled + sliced thin
- 1 beet, peeled + sliced thin
- 2 golden beets, peeled + sliced thin
- 1-2 tbsp. of olive oil
- S+P
How to:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Arrange slices on paper towels + sprinkle with salt, let water release from veggies for about 15 minutes
- Arrange on lined baking sheets evenly
- Drizzle with olive oil
- Bake for 15-20 minutes
- Remove from oven + sprinkle with S + a little P immediately
- Serve
- Spread next to bed while sweetie is sleeping + wait for him to yell a lot when he wakes + crunches them all under his toes

I love how you want to buy more candles and become a minimalist in the same sentence! Haha, but seriously, you are totally adulting with the candle thing. I’m theoretically an adult but I’m so messy and cluttered that candles just scare the hell out of me. I’m sure to burn everything down XD

Hahahaha right?! I can’t make up my mind on what I want. I also have a great fear of burning down the house with all of my candles. I think I check to make sure they’re blown out about 8 times before I can sleep soundly. LOL

Lovely colours – and great that you can get crunchy, crispy slices from baking alone. Hmm. I’d always assumed frying was essential

No way! I try to sub baking for frying in just about every instance I can. These lil guys got just crisp enough!

I remembered your comment and although it took 2 months I posted my kale chip recipe. I’m sure you could do something wonderful (and better) with them. In the meantime…https://wordpress.com/post/writerinsoul.wordpress.com/13640
