Recently, Ben and I got a hankering for sweet potato fries.  We found a recipe, altered it a bit, made it our own and then made it three nights in a row!  Don’t judge us, they were delicious.  Make them, I bet you can’t eat just one!  <\/p>\n

Here is what you need<\/u>:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2 medium sweet potatoes<\/p>\n

\u00b7 \u00bd tsp ground red pepper or cayenne pepper<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1 tsp cumin<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1 tsp chili powder<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1 tsp garlic salt or garlic pepper<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1 tsp pepper<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2 tsp brown sugar<\/p>\n

\u00b7 2 Tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Gallon size baggie<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Ketchup (optional)<\/p>\n

Step One:<\/u>  Cut sweet potatoes into thin slices.  We tried both thin and thick and I prefer the thin ones.<\/p>\n

Step Two:<\/u>  Mix cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, garlic salt, black pepper and brown sugar in gallon size bag.  Slowly add olive oil until a thin paste forms (around 2 Tbsp).<\/p>\n

Step Three:<\/u>  Add sweet potatoes, seal bag and shake until well coated.<\/p>\n

Step Four:<\/u>  Place on cookie sheet (it took two for us).  Spread in one layer<\/p>\n

Step Five<\/u>:  Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes or until soft.  We actually baked ours until the middle was soft, but ends were a little crispy.  Serve with ketchup (if you are so inclined) and enjoy!<\/p>\n

These were really yummy with BBQ chicken and broccoli and cheese casserole (see recipe below) \u2013 this was night two.  We served them on night one with a simple Pasta Roni and green beans.  Then the third night we had bunless burgers with saut\u00e9ed garlic and mushrooms.  Delicious!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Quick Broccoli and Cheese Casserole<\/u><\/p>\n

Mix 1 bag of frozen broccoli (cook first), 1 can cream of mushroom soup (about 3\/4 of the can), and 1\/4-1\/2lb Velveeta (depending on how cheesy you like it).  Add a little salt and pepper to taste.  Cook in microwave until cheese is almost melted.  Mix 1-2Tbsp of melted butter and Ritz crackers (enough to soak up butter).  Place on top of broccoli mixture.  Cook at 425 degrees until lightly brown (10-15 minutes).  Enjoy! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
