crunchy zucchini chips (and miss L’s first cooking show)

Miss L’s first zucchini ripened over the weekend, so we pulled it off the plant and brought it in the house! She desperately wanted to eat it (and even tried to bite it raw!), so on Monday night, I cut it into small slices for zucchini chips and she got to making her first backyard meal ever! How’s that for being super local-organic?

While we were making the zucchini chips, she started talking through the process and commenting on her work… like it was her own cooking show. So, I did what any crazy mom with an iPhone would do, and picked up the video to share with others…

Think she’s ready for her Food Network auditions??? Anyhow, if you want to make these, it’s so simple that I feel silly even writing a recipe. But here it is:
