picture perfect

Last Thursday, Oma and Papa stopped by for a short visit and dinner out.  I was able to snap this picture while we were chatting in the living room! Love it =)

Then last night, I made a favorite side and thought I would share with you.  I had always thought that sweet potatoes either needed to be mashed and served with lots of sugar, or baked and served with sugar, marshmallows and butter.  But no longer! You can enjoy a more “savory version” and it has received rave reviews at my house! And its very healthy too.

 

Start by peeling your sweet potato and then cutting it into “fries.”  Put all the fries in a bag for easy coating.  Add enough olive oil that the fries are coated but there isn’t any extra in the bottom of the bag.

 

 

 

Then mix the the spice together in a small dish and add to the bag.  Seal it back up and toss to coat.

 

 

 

 

Then put them in the oven on a cookie sheet or pan.  I prefer one that actually “sticks” so the fries crisp up a bit more.  And from my experience, they actually won’t stick to the pan because of the oil.

 

 

Then ENJOY!!  Clearly we did!

 

 

 

 

 

We were sitting at dinner and had cleaned our plates when I realized that I didn’t take any pictures of the final product for you!! We both laughed at that because I guess they are just really that good.  But as luck would have it, I saved a few out for my lunch today… so you get the benefit of the final product after all!!

 

And last but not least… today is our 3 year anniversary! So in honor of our special day, here are a few pictures from our wedding =)
