This recipe has been adapted slightly from Emiril Legassy’s “Perfect French Fries” from the foodnetwork.com. And when I say “adapted” what I really mean is “dumbed down” since I don’t have a candy thermometer, a tea cloth, or peanut oil. And I don’t like to peel my potatoes. But these are yummy. Especially if you…
Perfecting the sweet potato fry is tricky. Most cooks complain they come out too soggy, too burnt, or too chewy. So we run off to Trader Joe’s and pay $7 for a 1/4 pound bag in the freezer section. And for what? One meal? Maybe two? This recipe will put all freezer bag fries, and even your grandmother, to…
It’s back to school month, which also means soccer practice, piano lessons, and ballet–and all are happening right around dinner time.

And your kids will love them! You will be throwing oatmeal, blueberries, and whole grains down their throats without as much as a protest….
This dish was inspired by a trip to Costco. I saw something similar in the refrigerated section, but I knew I could make three times the amount for cheaper. And healthier to boot. So I did. I recommend using my no-fuss homemade dressing to give it a fresh taste. It beats store-bought dressing, and you can make extra dry…
