Thursday Medley






Tonight I did something a little differently. Instead of scourging the internet for that "perfect" recipe to then attempt to re-create, tonight I looked in our fridge to see what we had in there and then found recipes to accommodate ... here's the outcome:

1. Garlicky Green Beans
2. Braised Cabbage in Red Wine
3. Baked Sweet Potato Fries ... a favorite!
4. For Dessert ... Apple Galette in Butter Puff Pastry

Let me share this golden nugget of a recipe with you (my adaptation from the Food Network recipe):
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
1 Sweet Potato, peeled and sliced into 1\4" long and wide strips
Olive oil, for tossing
1 Tbsp Tex Mex
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
Salt and Pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 450F
2. Line sheet pan with tinfoil (dull side facing up) - heat pan while oven is heating up - this helps the fries to crisp up a little better
3. In large bowl, toss potatoes with oil to coat. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over and toss
4. Spread on pan in single layer
5. Bake for about 20mins, turning occasionally. Potatoes should be golden brown (I ended up broiling at the very end, just to get some extra crispiness happening)
