Ew. That title hurts even *me*. 
But there’s no denying that this is true glory:
I came in from an awesome workout this evening: I pushed the cardio and sweat (I sweat?! Crazy!), I lifted till I panted (though I can’t bring myself to grunt)… and after my recovery snack did nothing to sate my hunger, I looked at the 8-lb yam (approximate size) in my produce bowl and thought: “dinner?”
Yam chips are the best EVER. For real. I wash the yam… I leave the skin on… I slice it thin, and wish I had a mandolin… I toss the slices with just enough olive oil that the spices will stick… I plaster the slices with turmeric, pepper and cayenne… I spread on a baking sheet or two that I’ve prepped with a little olive oil… I bake for about 15 minutes at 425°F… I eat the whole thing… and I think about how tomorrow morning’s run is going to be SO much better for my dinner of complex carbs.
Yammy.
