My Famous Potato Fries

I love french fries. As a matter of fact, I will go to a restaurant just to eat their fries. I make these at home quite a bit, and my kids love them. Tonight they are going alongside grilled pork chops. Here is my super easy recipe:

Potatoes (Cut in half and sliced thin)
Olive oil or melted coconut oil
Sea salt
Pepper
Paprika
Fresh garlic (I grind mine on a microplane)
*Fancy optional ingredient: Black truffle oil

Place sliced potatoes in a bowl. Coat with a good amount of oil, I have no exact measurement. Sprinkle on sea salt, pepper, paprika and fresh garlic to your liking and toss. Spray a pan with cooking spray and arrange potato slices as evenly as possible. Roast in the oven at 375 degrees for about 35-45 minutes depending on how crispy you like them, we love them super crispy. If you really want a special treat, drizzle a little black truffle oil over them and toss before you serve. Enjoy!

Less IS More!

New Recipe of the week courtesy of Budget Bytes

With temperatures steadily rising, I have found myself right back into cooler clothing. I am transitioning a little earlier than I wanted to....but I got to thinking, less really is more!

Less winter = More clothing options for me.
Less complaining = More happiness.
Less stuff = More appreciation for what I have.
Less grocery money = More creativity in my kitchen.
Less shopping = More uses out of my clothes.
Less me = More Him.

Oh....and on creativity in the kitchen, a small resolution I made for 2013 was to try one new recipe a week. I found a blog that has helped me get off to a GREAT start! It's called Budget Bytes and you will love it! Tonight I made chicken in peanut sauce, delish!
