sweet potatoe fries

Baked Sweet Potato Fries Recipe: (Makes 6-8 servings) Ingredients: 3-4 medium sized sweet potatoes 3 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1 Tablespoon corn starch Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cut sweet potatoes into fry shaped slices. Put sweet potatoes in a large Ziploc bag and add the rest of the ingredients to the bag. Close the bag and shake until all of the sweet potatoes are evenly coated. Pour contents of the bag onto a cookie sheet lined with foil and spread fries out evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until browned on the outside.

Chicken Sandwich marinate

Ingredients: 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons lime juice 1/2 teaspoon chile powder 1/4 teaspoon cumin 6 hamburger buns your favorite sandwich toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, avocado, cheese, etc) Directions: Mix together the oil, honey, lime juice, chile powder, and cumin in a ziploc bag. Place chicken inside, zip bag closed, and make sure that chicken is fully coated by marinade. Place bag of chicken in the fridge and let marinade for at least 30 minutes (I actually let mine go for about 2 hours- but you could even let it go for 8-10 hours for really flavorful meat!). Remove chicken from fridge and preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill the chicken for a couple of minutes on each side, turning once, until the chicken is no longer pink and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If you want, you can melt your cheese on the chicken while it cooks and even toast your buns on the grill.
