Cucumber Chips can help you fit in your skinny jeans!This is a great year to grow your own kitchen garden
with food prices set to soar.
Cucumbers are easy to grow.
Priced at $1. apiece they may
be out of your price range.
Grow a few on your fence
this spring to liven up your diet.
My Hubby loves big bags of potato chips. ($4. each)
I substitute a platter of cucumber chips with low cal garden salsa dip
and he doesn't miss a thing! Except the 64 lbs he has lost.
You can use any low cal dip recipe but I chose to share this one because
it can all be made FREE from the garden all spring and summer.
