Somewhere along the line I read that one of the best ways to control snacking was to make the snack yourself. First of all, whatever it is (popcorn, chocolate chip cookies, you get the drift) is going to taste better simply by virtue of being made with fresh ingredients. And second, the whole process of assembling the ingredients, making whatever it is, waiting for whatever it is to cook and cool and so on is going to slow you down since that is more complicated than grabbing a box or a bag of the pre-made stuff. This all made complete sense to me, so I decided to test the theory with a batch of homemade potato chips.
