Baked Potato Chips

Tyson has been playing with ways to use potatoes since we have a lot. Well, this morning we tried something new and it turned out great. It is a great snack and very low in calories so I love it.Ingredients:
1 potato
2 tsp. coarse salt
Pam spray

Slice your potato very thinly. I use a mandolin and it works great. Spray your baking sheet well. Spread your potatoes slices over the baking sheet, try not to overlap too much. Spray the potatoes with the Pam spray and then sprinkle the salt over the top. Bake in a very hot over, 500 degrees, for about 10-12 minutes.

Grilled Glazed Drummies

In the summer I love to grill so I am always on the look out for new grilling recipes. I found this recipe out of a Taste of Home magazine and then played with it a bit. This is a great, very basic marinade. It tastes great on drumsticks, but it would be great with plain boneless, skinless breasts if you would like.
Ingredients:
1 c. ketchup
1/3 c. soy sauce
4 tsp. honey
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. garlic powder (though I prefer 1 tsp. fresh minced garlic)
3 lbs. chicken drumsticks (or drumettes if you are making this as an appetizer)

Combine ketchup, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic in a bowl and save out 1/2 cup of marinade. Pour the remaining marinade into a ziploc bag. Add chicken and seal. allow to marinade for 4 hours or longer in the fridge.
Grill on medium heat for 5 minutes, turn and baste with the reserved marinade. Grill for another 10-15 minutes turning and basting from time to time.
Yields 16 drumsticks or 2 dozen drumettes.
