I also love sweet potatoes (what can I say, I just love food)… so needless to say, these fries really do it for me; they’re the best of both worlds.

I’m not a big fan of pre-prepped produce from the grocery store.
It’s more expensive. Less flavorful. And usually not so fresh.
BUT at the end of the day, we’ve all gotta pick and choose our battles SO if pre-prepped produce is what helps you get your fruits and veggies on the table, then more power to ya!

Two things that hold true for me when it comes to food:
- I do NOT skip meals (I don’t think I’ve ever skipped a meal in my life AND I’ll never understand people that “forget ” to eat).
