My two favorite things, sweet potatoes and popcorn. I haven’t figured out how to combine the two, but give me some time and I’m sure I can make it tasty.

I know when a restaurant offers sweet potato fries, it’s going to be good. However, don’t be misled and think sweet potato fries are better than french fries. Sorry to break it to ya, but fried is fried. No, I’m not sorry, but your ass will be. Not to say that you can’t eat them, I do, just know they still end in “fries”.

Good news, you can make them at home and safe your jeans self some calories. Sound good? Good. Every time I make these, they don’t stand a chance, I eat them all. psst… they’re gluten-free.

Anyone else eat sweet potatoes for breakfast? Yes, breakfast. When I get tired of my routine oatmeal, I replace it with a baked sweet potato {lightly salted}. YUM!!
