My Mission:

I love cooking. I love baking. I feel like it's a wonderful outlet for my creativity and a way to warm the hearts of my loved ones. Days spent in my kitchen with my apron on and flour in my hair are my favorite days.
However- having struggled with my weight my whole life I've learned how to modify recipes for years. Now on Weight Watchers- I still cook delicious foods for my husband but I have tricks to shave off lots of fat and calories!

Baked sweet potato fries with dipping sauce

I was shopping for my usual sweet potatoes the other day and came across white yams also. So I decided to get one of each to try.


Personally, I'm not a huge fan of skins on my sweet potato fries because they peel off easily when cooked. So I pre-peel them and chop them into equal sized strips. Throw them into a big plastic bag with about 1 TBS of oil and spices. I like to use sea salt, chili pepper and cinnamon for sweet potato fries. Give them a shake-shake-sake and then spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 425 for about 15-20 and flip. Continue baking until you get the crispiness you want.

Meanwhile it's time to get the dipping sauce mixed up!

In a small dish mix 1 TBS light miracle whip (I'm not a fan of mayonnaise but you could use that if you'd prefer), 1 TBS light sour cream, 1 tsp spicy whole mustard and 2 tsp honey mustard dressing.
That's it! Serve these alongside my chicken burgers or any burger/sandwich recipe you like!
Enjoy!!
