Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
There is an abundance of Food Should Taste Good chips sitting in our kitchen after I won them in a giveaway from Kelly. So, what does one do with 5 bags of chips?
Well, you definitely eat the chocolate variety alongside some chocolate chip cookie dough hummus…
The sweet potato flavored chips go great with black bean dessert hummus…
But, what does one do with olive chips…besides scarfing them down by the handful? Why, you make salmon cakes of course!
Salmon Cakes adapted from The Real Food Diet Cookbook.
Ingredients
- 1 can wild salmon (I prefer the Bear & Wolf brand with no skin or bones)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 onion
- 1 TBSP butter, softened + extra butter to grease skillet
- 1 serving Food Should Taste Good olive chips
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Grease skillet with butter. Form 6 cakes and fry over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side.
These turned out great. I’ll be giving away a copy of the above mentioned cookbook soon. So stay tuned. It’s got some great recipes!
How do you get your chip lovin’ on?

Those sound like delicious pairings! I love the olive ones with guacamole.
Great combos! Salmon cakes.. yum
what an awesome idea
The olive ones are also great w/ spinach dip – I usually saute a big bad of spinach in a little coconut oil (or w some bacon) and then sprinkle some goat cheese on top & stir like crazy…it’s so much better than the typical mayonnaise & canned Parmesan cheese spinach dips!
Can’t wait to try the Salmon Cake recipe!
Tony made salmon patties for the boys a couple of weeks ago and they loved them. Yours sound great with the chips! Great use for using them up. I like making corn bread dressing with chips along with eating them with massive amounts of hummus!
I just eat them by the handful! I am in love with my hummus-raisin mixtures, I just eat them by the bowl!:)
An abundance of FSTG chips is never a burden, they’re all so good! My favorite are the lime variety with LOTS of salsa or pico de gallo. I wish I had some now! How are the chocolate kind? Do they really taste chocolate-y? I always wondered about those…
Megan,
Not too chocolatey. Kind of salty, a bit sweet, with just a hint of chocolate. I really liked them.
Oh thats a great idea. I love using those chips baked into my meals. The sweet potato ones are great with crushed on top a salad with a little tahini.
Now I am hungry.
Great combo’s of real flavours in these tasty dishes! I love the easy to make salmon cakes too!
there is always black bean dip, which i used as a dip of course and then later as a spread in quick veggie quesadilla.
I love the jalapeno ones from Food Should Taste Good! I eat ‘em by the handful, dip in TJ’s Spicy Black Bean Dip, or crush them up into taco salads. Mmmm…. now I have to go buy some more. They don’t last long in my house! I will have to try the chocolate ones. I am intrigued…
I love chips and dips! Spicy hummus & blue corn is my favorite. My husband makes nachos all the time, and I love a black bean or refried bean bowl scooped with the chips. And avocado of course.
dessert hummus- omg how could i have missed that post! im blown away by the idea of combining chocolate with hummus- but it works..unless of course i added garlic lol..then maybe not so much- but i love that cookie dough hummus recipe!! i think i’ll have to get on that and try mixing some chocolate or caron sweetness together with my canned chickpeas mmm <3
xoxo
I love dipping chips into vegetarian chili! I still need to try that chocolate chip cookie dough hummus!!
This is the 2nd recipe from that book I’ve seen today and both look absolutely incredible!
Love the creative ways to eat chips! I’m usually boring and have my regular tortilla or pita chips with salsa, guacamole, or dip. The sweet potato chips with the black bean dessert hummus sounds pretty great to me right now!
THAT HUMMUS LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!
I love salsa and chips but now I’m craving hummus and chips!
That’s crazy that you made these today! It’s National Tortilla Chip day!! haha
This looks awesome, I may have to whip this up soon!
I love these chippies with green hummus (which I think would be right up your alley!). Yum!
That’s such a great idea! I have a bag of them I need to use up.
The salmon cakes look like a hit…and they look easy & fast. Thanks for making Scott a happy man if I decide to make these for him!
Chip loving..you know, I do like chips. But I like chocolate/sugar more. So it would be a better question to ask me that….lol.
Because the first link I opened was the link for the choc chip cookie dough hummus. Which again, looks marvelous! My brain always goes for chocolate, first
yum! black bean hummus! sounds amazing!
That looks amazing.
I don’t eat fish, but I’m thinking of making these for my mom.
I thought they were Blue Corn chips – chocolate?! Never knew that existed!
Oh thank you for posting that Salmon Cake recipe! I love salmon…and cakes
(yeah, yeah, I know – not the same kind of cake) but ya know what I mean! – and this recipe looks simple. I hate recipes that are super long or include a bunch of different ingredients. Keep it simple!
Er, keep it REAL (as per the cookbook)
Once I got over the fact that the sweet potato chips didn’t taste a thing like sweet potatoes, I really liked them! The bag was no match for my superior hummus dipping skills!
That is a GREAT idea for salmon cakes! Can’t wait to try it out! I love canned salmon…so easy!
I keep seeing that cookie dough hummus I HAVE to try it! YUM
I save the “chip crumbs” to make Chilaquiles!

Brilliant Monica.
those salmon cakes look and sound delish!
i don’t buy chips. i can’t. i don’t have much self control when it comes to tortilla chips! so, if i get a hankering for them i cut up some corn tortillas, spray with olive oli and season with salt. then pop ‘em in the toaster oven for 5 minutes. they taste great and satisfy my craving
Chips & guac for me
The chocolate and sweet potato chips sound delish. Those are some great pairings too. I like to eat chips by the handful.
I don’t much like chips but those chocolate ones? I MUST try those!
I remember trying the olive chips and the chocolate chips when I was in the US in 2007! I love your creativity with the leftovers. Brilliant!
Ahh yum!!! I can’t buy those chips because I’ll eat the whole bag at once
haha
What a unique way to use chips! I love FSTG, but I’m still mad that they discontinued the potato and chive flavor. That was my favorite!!! I like using the sweet potato ones to scoop banana soft serve.
You know, I’m not a chip person, but I really like that brand. I reviewed all of their chips (except the cheesy ones) years ago, and always keep an eye out for sales and coupons now. You can often get them for $1 a bag, which I find worth it. Never thought to use them in recipes though. Thanks HEAB!
I have been getting my chip and dip lovin’ on quite a bit lately with some rad homemade dips… it’s just too easy after work or school as a snack (or a meal, lol)!
That chocolate chip cookie dough hummus looks AMAZING! And so does that salmon!
Mmmm these sound fantastic!!! I don’t buy chips very often….particularly potato chips. Every time I cave and buy a packet, they sneak into my hand and before I know it I’m staring at the crumbs in the bottom of the bag and wondering where all the delicious chips went
Mmmm…those salmon cakes look delish! When there are chips in my house A) they don’t last long and B) we just eat them plain. I’ve always wanted to use them as breadcrumbs, though. Chicken with crusted with tortilla chips – YES!
I just made homemade hummus for the first time this week, and I’ll never buy store-bought again! I made the plain kind, but I’m realizing that there are so many delicious options out there (like chocolate chip cookie dough… must make that!)
We don’t eat chips much, but we usually just dip them in salsa, hummus or guacamole. What a creative use for them in salmon cakes!
i love to use extra chip in chilaquiles! have you ever tried them? i bet olive chips would be great.
Maya,
I’ve only made chilaqulies with soft corn tortillas. Must try them with chips soon! Bet it’s delicious.
I love your dessert hummus!
YES! I just got the Real Food Diet Cookbook and was planning on making those very same Salmon Cakes! Now I have even more reason to, they look amazing!
What wonderful combos!
I haven’t tried the chocolate ones yet (I’m sure they would be my new favorite) but the sweet potato ones are delish! Gotta love ‘em.
I get my chip fix with guac!
xoxox,
Kathleen
Probably a stupid question, but is the butter you have listed supposed to be mixed in or is that supposed to be used to in the skillet to cook them?
Kristen,
Good question. I’ll edit post, but the 1 TBSP of butter listed in recipe gets mixed with ingredients. I used extra butter for the skillet.
I’m a bit slow, but glad that you like the chips! And that’s such a creative use for the olive ones!
