    1 rutabaga
    1 turnip
    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. I used a mandolin to slice very thin chips, you can use a knife or food processor.
    2. Lay the chips onto the sheets and spray with more cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.
    3. Cook for 10 minutes, check and remove smaller chips if browning, flip the rest and cook for another 5 minutes.
    4. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before eating. less

I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
