Hi All!

"You don't have to be a four-star chef to eat like a gourmet"

I'm in total candy crush after hitting the corner store's Easter clearance aisle and I just couldn't help myself when I saw the Lindt white chocolates for 70% off? Yes, I'm weak time to get the jogging shoes out and shake it off.

After all of the sweets lately how about a nice veggie snack that doesn't feel like veggies? Try these deliciously crispy BAKED SWEET POTATO SHOESTRING FRIES on the side of your next lunch or even for a snack. Sweet potato chips and fries are something that I see popping up in gourmet departments everywhere and go with just about anything, try it out as a snack by itself too. Any way you slice it they're good and get my vote as a nice side for a healthy meal....yep they're not just for holidays anymore!

And when it comes to cutting your veggies? Throw away that old, bulky, scratched chopping board... It's time for the space age flexible chopping mat! These Flexible Chopping Mats are perfect for cutting, chopping, slicing and more. I promise YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE!

Enjoy!

ON SWEET POTATOES:

Yes, there is a health benefit! A dynamite source of
Beta Carotene, Potassium and surprisingly an excellent
source of Vitamin C. If we held a beta-carotene contest,
sweet potatoes would just about tie carrots for first
place.

Though these are available year-round, peak season for
freshly harvested sweet potatoes is mid-fall to late winter.
There are many varieties of sweet potato, but I'll stick
to the moist, orange/purple-fleshed sweet potatoes.

The orange/purple varieties have a thicker, darker skin,
with bright orange flesh. It is much sweeter and moister
than others. Whichever variety you choose, look for potatoes
that are small/medium in size to medium/large, about 3/4
pound to 1 1/4 pound in size, with smooth, unbruised skin.

Sweet potatoes may look hardy, they actually are quite
fragile and spoil easily. Any cut or bruise on the surface
quickly spreads and ruins the whole potato. Do not refrigerate
them. It speeds up the deterioration. An ideal temperature
is at 55 to 60 degrees.
