SwEEt PoTaTo Fries

 We LoVe these!

Actually, 

we just had them 

for the first 

time recently.

Store bought, of course.

Decided to make our own.

and conveniently,

I had some Sweet Potatoes

that were in dire need of use.

I rinsed and peeled them,

and because we prefer wedges

tried using the AppLe Slicer..

ehhhh, eh~eh.

No go, Figaro.

It's a lot easier to just 

slice them with a verra sharp knife.

Drizzle Oil of Olive,

enough for a light coating,

toss around for a bit,

then add some tasty spices.

I had 3 large sweet potatoes,

I used 
*************

1tsp Salt

1tsp PePPer

1tsp Garlic Powder

1tsp PaPriKa

Sprinkle over fries,
toss around some more
until evenly coated.

The seasoning ended up being

just right for us.

As with any recipe,

try and then adjust.

I baked them at *450

on a cookie sheet 
for 30 minutes.

Again,

you can adjust to your

preference of doneness

but this worked out really well.

mmm mmm, ya'll...

these were Delish!

They didn't take long at all;
The Womb Fruits loved them,
and they are a healthy alternative
to fried fries.

Enjoy!

 

Sweet Potato Swirl Bread

Lately, it seems I'm more into cooking than any arts and crafts of the GLiTTeR kind.
This was an interesting recipe so I tried it.
This is by no means a sweet bread;
in fact you may even put a touch of jam on it with your morning or afternoon coffee.

I could not distinctly taste the sweet potatoes, but they do make for a moist loaf.

Since I scanned the recipe in,
I'll skip posting all the extra wording.


I used my usual 4 mini loaf pans.

I baked the Sweet Potatoes for about 50 minutes,
and let them cool in the oven.

Man, did my house smell Divine!

It did seem to be a rather thick dough, 

for some reason I just thought it would be

not so thick even though it's a bread recipe.

Next time, I think I will lessen the cocoa
because the cocoa swirl did seem to overpower the
Sweet Potato a bit. I really wanted to taste both.

I baked the loaves for approx. 50 minutes. When I slice tested it, it was still very moist on the inside, and I was thinking I would have to put it back in the oven for a few minutes. Once it completely cooled and set the next day, it was Perfect!  This is the kind of food that is great for a Picnic, or a trip to the Beach, or a Road Tripp..you can cut thick slices and wrap in wax or parchment paper for a heavy, satisfying snack. I will be trying this recipe again.

If you are unable to read the scanned recipe due to blurriness,
this is the same exact recipe~
