I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Simple, sweet and spicy! Had these sweet potato fries with crusted meatloaf but honestly they would be fantastic with just about any main or even on their own dipped in ketchup, aioli or BBQ sauce.

1 large sweet potato, cut in wedges
1 tbsp bacon fat
1 tbsp vegetable oil
chili powder to taste
cinnamon sugar (like you use for cinnamon toast) to taste
cayenne (optional if you want a kick of heat!)

Just take a plastic bag (or empty waxed cereal bag) and toss the sweet potato wedges with the rest of the ingredients. Stand the wedges on a lined baking sheet leaving space between each. Sprinkle more chili powder and cinnamon sugar on (and cayenne if you like). Bake at 425°F for 35-40 minutes or until tender with caramelized edges. You may want to flip them for the last 10 minutes.
Serves 2
Served here with my Crusted Meatloaf. Get the recipe here:
