Pita Chips!

Now that summer has {finally} come to Denmark, it is perfect to try new types of snacks when you are having friends over! Just this weekend, I tried this VERY simple recipe for Pita Chips. And trust me it is as easy as it sounds! Pita Chips – two words and you only need two ingredients. And did I mention it is a fairly cheap snack to make?!

 

All you need is:

Pita {whole wheat or just plain}
Marinade made from oil and spices.

For the marinade you need 2 tablespoon oil for 4 pitas and choose the spices you love the most! I try a mixture of basil, garlic pepper and salt and another with BBQ.

First you preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Mix a marinade by your design together in a bowl.

Then split each pita and cut them into pieces. Not too small as they will burn too quickly in the oven.

Put the chips in the bowl and mix with your marinade and transfer the chips to a baking sheet placed in one layer and bake for about 20 minutes. But watch they closely as they might quickly turn brown!

Serve your chips with dip or sour cream and enjoy a good time with friends or family!

Over and out!

 

Homemade Oreos {Oreo's}

I found this recipe and simply had to try it, as I am a BIG FAN of Oreos.. And this recipe comes very close to the ones you buy in stores. I was actually surprise by how good it was :) So if you are a BIG fan of Oreos too - or just love cocoa - you should definitely try this! And Yes - they taste even better with milk too!
