Baked Sweet Potato Fries



I make these all the time for my family.. and they are super yummy. I like to make these because they are a lot healthier than your average french fry. They are baked and not fried.. which makes a huge difference. These are delicious with hamburgers or hot dogs or any yummy summer food. Now. they might not be quite as "crispy" or whatever as a fried french fry.. but they are so much better.

Lets get to the good stuff!

Makes 2-3 servings (add an extra medium potato for each serving)
Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut in to long strips
  • about 2 Tbsp olive oil for coating 
  • salt 
  • pepper
  • smoked paprika 
  • (optional) if you don't have smoked paprika I have also just used seasoning salt on them as their only seasoning.. and they are very good this way too. If you do this don't add any extra salt and pepper
Instructions:
  1. Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into long strips, I would say no thicker than about 3/4 of an inch.
  2. Place your strips in a bowl and add your olive oil and seasonings. Toss until everything is coated nicely.
  3. Now you are going to want to place these on a baking pan or sheet, whatever works. I like to spray mine with a little cooking spray so they are guaranteed to not stick.
  4. Cook them in the oven at 450° for 15 minutes and then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes.
  5. Let them cool for about 5 or so minutes before serving and then enjoy!
I hope you like these as much as everyone at my house does!

Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!

Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here  http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :) Ingredients: 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more 1/4 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in t...

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Meaty Deep Dish Pizza

Tonight I was thinking PIZZA! Its the weekend, me and my husband had some episodes of Master Chef to catch up on.. so whats better than pizza?! As you can see in this picture.. there was some dough hanging over the edges.. I cut it off. This is what it looked like cut off so I decided to fold it down so the pie would look prettier. Ready for the oven! All popped out of the pan and ready for devouring.  Sooooooooooo good! I was worried that it was going to be soggy once I cut into it but that liquid was the only bit that was in there.. it was not soggy at all I promise.. it was amazing. I had some spring form pans that I hadn't used yet, and thought it would be a great recipe to test them out with. So... lets get to the good stuff shall we? ☺ Ingredients for Dough: 1 (.25 oz package) of active dry yeast 1 tsp white sugar 1 cup warm water  2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp Ital...
