Golden Kiwis

My mom bought this one time years ago just because of "hey we've never tried this before" and at the time they were sold with these spoon/knifes to each them with. We have a few of them, have yet to see them again since we got them. You can do the same thing as it with just a knife and a spoon, i just get to use a fun version.

You can eat them however you want to, cut them up, add them to things, or whatever it is you'd use a golden kiwi for(or possibly in place of normal kiwi, but flavor is a little different). I just want to show the only way i'll eat a golden kiwi.

Start by cutting off just one end.

You can scoot out what you can from the part you cut off if you want, but the opening needs to be large enough for the spoon. Thinking about it, you could probably just cut it in half and just each both halves too.

Stick the spoon in....

Scoop....And Enjoy :)

Here's mine being empty.

Now for those of you who have never ate, or possible never heard of golden kiwis, you might be wondering about the taste. Had to eat another one just before writing this to get a fresh taste of it to be able to write about it. Ate it the same way as above, but this time i used one of my daughter's little spoons...should of used my spook/knife lol.

Alright, for the taste, I'd say it's got a sweeter taste. I can't exactly compare the taste to a normal kiwi because it's been a long time since i had one. The texture is a little softer though, you can't do this eating method with a normal kiwi, i tried before, it was hard. I do have a habit of hardly chewing kiwi's when i eat them because their seeds burn if you bite them, so because of that, not sure if i've bitten a golden kiwi's seeds to see if they also burn.

I do find that these are pretty good for when you want a small fruit snack but still want to feel like you are eating something by using utensils.

Idaho Baked Potato Soup

My mom is a big potato fan. She found a postcard with a potato soup recipe on it and wanted to try it. My mom was the one who mostly made this, i just helped get her things and such. Recipe for this will be posted at the bottom, since it was on a postcard, i just took pictures of it, i can write it out if anyone requests it.

The soup was good. We also had grilled cheese with soup, so i got full pretty fast from the soup being thick. Only thing i'd probably change about it would be making the potato chunks alittle smaller. But i just like things being smaller and bite size.

Would of been nice if a little more bacon in it. I just love bacon. Maybe i should make some sort of bacon soup lol.

While my mom was getting the potatoes for this soup, she found this fun little potato that looks like a heart. I thought it would be perfect for pictures with the soup, this was the best one i got.

Now for the recipe: (i wish i knew if we had an Idaho magnet...might of, but my daughter likes the magnets and loses them. So i picked our Oregon one because that's where i'm from)

Tostitos Artisan recipes Roasted Garlic & Black Bean Chips

Normally i just buy the whole grain chips because i like the taste compared to plain ones. I decided to try this one after i saw it when wanting to buy chips. I got it at Safeway, but i'm sure it can be bought elsewhere.

I ended up using these for nachos, i did try a chip plain to see how it tasted on it's own. It's not over powering in flavor. Hint of garlic and pretty sure i was able to also taste the black bean, hard to tell though. I think i still like the whole grain one better. These were fine for the nachos, though there is a powder on it, possibly the garlic flavor, and so after eating the nachos a good bit, then my fingers got messy. Like when you eat Doritos.

Summary
Pros:
-Taste isn't over powering
 Con:
-Messy if don't clean fingers after each chip

Will i buy again: Probably not.
