You know those days when you’re distinctly craving something hearty and savory, that’s both incredibly satisfying- but equally simple to prep? Well, this little recipe is just that.

The truth is; homemade chips are at a different level in the foodie stratosphere. I dig them. I crave them. I…… Continue reading Homemade Tortilla Chips!
