He's used to having chips in his sack lunch and I haven't found an

acceptable substitute for that, yet.

There is no acceptable substitute. & nbsp; All of them are loaded with stuff you'd never ever want to eat -- everything is artificial. & nbsp; Try making your own chips. & nbsp; It's not that difficult.

Hoho, Melody, are you theones with chips in the lunch. you can make

potato chips very easily but they don't travel well unfortunately. Just

slice potatoes very very thin (not so thin as to make it hard to slice

them; just use a sharp knife ifyou can get near one savely really).

Caot lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt if you must. place on

cookie sheet greased lightly with olive oil. bake at 350 degreees until

crisp. i forget how long but it's not all that long. checkevery fre

minutes until you learn how long.

Yum. i love potato chips but now there are no safe mfg'd ones. This is

great for an out of the overn snack. for those who allow themselves

potatoes often or every so often.

Oh Melody;

if your hubby has a microwave maybe he can reheat them where he

works.ugh. an oven would be better but when desperation strikes what do

you do? If you have leftovers, just reheat in oven for a few minutes

and they crisp right up.

My husband knows how to make homemade tortilla chips, but they are

deep fried which is bad for your heart and of course loaded with

carbs. I guess nuts is the only alternative, but he snacks on them

all evening.

Thanks for your suggestions, Janet! The problem is that any chips,

homemade or not, are going to be high on the Glycemic Index for

hidden sugar. The only alternative snack I can think for him would be

nuts. He eats shelled peanuts in the evenings, but I guess I can get

him some pistachios or almonds instead of chips.

Hugs,
