easy fruit nachos

in Food & Drink on 07/21/15

Yikes – I’m a bit embarrassed about how long ago my last post was!

The truth is, I’ve been wanting to blog, but I haven’t been able to dedicate the time it takes to write quality content, take quality photos and just as importantly, keep up with other people’s blogs. The struggle is so real!

Needless to say, I think this post was worth the wait, because I’m sharing a delicious and healthy summer dessert idea! The inspiration came from a savoury snack that’s a staple in my diet: homemade, baked tortilla chips. They’re so simple to make! All you do is cut store-brought tortilla shells into triangles, spray them with vegetable oil, top with seasoning and bake for about 10 minutes. Easy, healthy and delicious.

Since tortilla shells are neutral in flavour, you can top them with seemingly endless combinations of flavours. Off the top of my head, here’s some ideas: seasoning salt and parmesan cheese, rosemary and sea salt, cayenne pepper, ranch dressing, or cinnamon and sugar.

I’ve made the sweet version of these chips a few times in the last couple of weeks and so far, my favourite way to serve them is alongside fruit salsa. Of course, adding a bit of chocolate to that doesn’t hurt anyone! One of my friends has just bought one of these amazing chocolate tempering machines, so if you have one too you could always use it to enhance the flavour of these tasty treats.

Ingredients:

Chips – Tortilla Shells, Cinnamon, Sugar, Vegetable Oil

Salsa – Mixed Berries, Peaches, Sugar (just a bit), Fresh Basil

Topping – Melted Chocolate

This is where I’d typically share a “recipe”…but you really don’t need one! Think of this as an idea, which I hope you try for yourself. Try making a fruit salsa with your favourite fruits: strawberries? mangos? kiwi?

Let me know if you have any questions!

      Fruit is always so good at this time of year, that the more ways I think of to eat it, the better.

    Yum, yum! I get a similar snack from this local brunch restaurant, Turning Point. It’s amazing and I’ve never seen it anywhere else! They call it a fruit bruschetta. Thanks for sharing your recipe so I can have it at home, now!

    When I first saw this title, I though you were crazy! And then I actually read the post, and you’re a genius haha. These look unreal! Pairing some type of cinnamon-y chip with fruit and chocolate is a great idea.

    I love how you turned nachos into a semi-healthy dessert, what a great idea for a party! Also I hear you with the blogging, it’s so hard in the summer when there is so much going on!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
