Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Ever since my first experience with Sweet Potato Fries after moving to Texas, I have been a huge fan.  Given the choice between regular fries and sweet potato fries, these always win.  I've had them fried, baked, savory and sweet.  I love them any way they come but I like them best when they are just sweet and salty.  Also, given the choice between baked and fried I choose baked. Just healthier that way, you know?  These are great as a side with any sort of burgers or grilled meats.  These will keep you going back for one more...until there are no more.









Baked Sweet Potato Fries
slightly modified from Annie's Eats


2 large sweet potatoes, peeled
2 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP light brown sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling


Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil greased with cooking spray.  Heat pan in oven for crispier fries.

Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise, then cut into long spears. (Soak in cold water for 30 minutes for a crispier texture.  Drain well and pat dry.)  Place potatoes in a large bowl and add olive oil, brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt.  Toss until potatoes are well coated.  Take pan out of oven and spread potatoes out in a single layer.  Bake for 15 minutes then them over with a spatula or tongs.  Bake for another 5-10 minutes until lightly browned.  Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and serve hot.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
