Pick out your favorite recipe and type it up make sure that the sum of all the required ingredients cost less the ten dollars and submit it as a post in this topic. Things like sugar, flower, milk and butter do not have to be accounted for but things like special spices should be included as a cost. Format as follows: Name total estimated cost. cook time ingredients list/amounts/estimated cost cooking instructions All entry's must include the above to be considered. All entry's will appear on my web site with credit given to the author (if your would like your real name listed please contact me via PM) unless you specifically ask me not to post it. Please make separate post for multiple recipes. 300pts for the winner, 100pts for the runner up (both chosen by me). Because of the inactivity of this forum I thought I might leave this contest open for a while so it will end on the 9th of June (my birthday:>).

Yum... I love potato chips, but when I went vegan I didn't know what else was fried in the oil that the chips were fried in... so I gave up trying to find a vegan kind. Now I have my own! They taste different than regular potato chips, so don't expect them to taste the same.... especially with the different root vegetables. Ingredients: 1 carrot             1.00 1 potato            1.00 1 sweet potato   1.00 Cooking Oil (Canola oil, vegetable oil, etc). You can add any other root vegetable you want... but those are pretty basic. Put the oil into the pan unti there is a thin layer that covers the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat onto medium high. (You'll be able to tell when the oil is hot when you put a drop of water into the oil and it spits/ sizzles) (Remember... for grease fires NEVER put water on them, always use salt) Wash and peel off the outside of the vegetable. Then Peel the vegetable into thin slices (about the size of a potato chip) if you don't have a vegetable peeler... then you can cut them into thin slices with a knife. Just be sure to make them very thin. Once the oil is hot put some of the vegetables into the pan (don't over fill it or they won't cook right). If necessary, flip the chips over so that they can get crisp on both sides. Watch until the vegetables are crispy then remove them and place them on a paper towel. Salt or add any seasonings if you wish. Ta-da! Your own, vegan, chips! YAY! Total Cost: Less than $5, depending on the price of your vegetables.
