Sweet Potato Fries

Alright guys, I have found a DELICIOUS substitute for plain old fries. Sweet potatoes!! They are super good and really easy to make! Unlike regular potatoes they have more nutritional value and are not as moisture prone, so the fries are crispy when baked and not soggy.



Sweet Potato Fries

2 Sweet potatoes
1 T Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to season

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. It is optional to peel the sweet potatoes, but I always do. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks as thick or thin as you like.

3. Toss the matchsticks of sweet potato with oil, salt and pepper.

4. Spray your pan with non stick spray or grease with coconut oil.

5. Lay out your potato matchsticks on the pan and bake in oven for 20-30 minutes, depending on how thick or thin your potatoes were cut. Check them so they don't burn! Once they are golden brown they are ready to go!

6. I tossed a little more salt on mine once they were out of the oven and ate them plain! Yummy!

Pineapple Strawberry Sorbet

This recipe has been a to me delight on a hot day. Refreshing and easy to make, this sugar free frozen treat is awesome in the summer. What could possibly be easier than tossing frozen fruit and a few other ingredients into the food processor? Let's jump right into this frozen treat!

Pineapple Strawberry Sorbet

1 cup Pineapple chunks, frozen
1 cup Strawberries, frozen
1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp Honey

1. Toss all those goodies in the food processor and blend on high, about 5 minutes, until all is blended smooth. You may need to scrape the sides down once or twice but just give it time and it will blend together nicely. You can enjoy all of this now or save some in Popsicle molds or just in Tupperware in the freezer for later.
