If you want to avoid food preservatives and find a healthy substitute for potato chips, you may want to sample some of these chip recipes.
These four offer some sweet and some savory selections. They’re not hard to make, and the bonus is, in addition to being tasty, they can be

The school announced in a press release Tuesday morning that Caleb King will be the new coach of the Green Wave after engineering the highest scoring offense in the state of North Carolina at his alma mater, Havelock High School, a season ago.
