baked peaches + cinnamon + vanilla almond milk + little bit of brown sugar
I was craving peach cobbler because a mommy blog on pinterest spammed my home page with gorgeous desserts… not complaining… it just made me really crave buttery gooey yummy cobbler. so i made this.
I have been trying to perfect this recipe for years now, and after searching and sifting, I think I finally got it pretty nailed down.
The Perfect Baked Sweet Potato Fries
preheat oven to 450 F
1 large sweet potato, cut into ¼ inch fries // toss with 1 tbsp corn starch // toss into colander and remove excess // toss with 1 tbsp olive oil // add pinch of cinnamon + pinch of chili powder // toss toss toss
spread on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. use two bakings sheets if necessary - it’s important the fries have enough space in between them so they don’t steam each other and they can get crispy
bake for 20-30 minutes on 450
sprinkle with sea salt

Lately the most I have cooked for myself is espresso (if that even counts). I never understood why the so most of the population enjoys the majority of their meals away from home. Now that I have started working and pretending to live in the real world I understand why. It is exponentially easier to drive home from work and see a glimmering pre-made or pick-up meal at the end of the commute than have to conjure up some healthy, satisfying, cheap meal in two minutes because my stomach is telling me “eat now or die”
So I’ve gone back to making my own coffee instead of starbucksing every other day. And I have started cooking the same three things for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (interchangeably, just to spice things up).
In four months I am going to be a wife. It’s not so much a reason as it is motivation to get some good recipes under my belt. Creativity, I dare say, has stood me up, and I am more than willing to delve into my roommate’s Cooking Light and start… cooking light. (like i said, muses have left me)
So maybe maybe maybe this blog will be a dud no more.
There is a back-and-forth between juice lovers and haters and believers and and non-believers and followers and people who hate the followers…
My opinions have definitely wavered:
Juice is obviously good for you. No. Juicing depletes nutrients. No. We fixed that. No. It’s too much sugar. We added vegetables. But the vitamins and minerals are oxygenated. We fixed that too.
So I’m just going to go with my gut and make a wild claim that I believe green juices are healthy. And I found some today that were much more delicious than any others I’ve unhappily downed. They have a lighter and fresher taste while managing to pack in SIX POUNDS of organic produce. The story behind the company is pretty incredible as well.
And to be honest, my working out and eating schedule has been a little off. Not completely derailed.. but there’s a reason this isn’t a fitness post. I have been working 7 days a week for the past month and today was my first day off in… too long. And that was only with the excuse of taking the general admissions exam for graduate school. Needless to say, this was relief in a bottle and I strongly encourage anyone with juice qualms to try this line.
