Sweet Something

One of my favorite things to make is fried garlic sweet potatoes!

A friend make these for me and I have developed my own way to make them that is absolutely amazing. They are  simple to make, and only take about 20 mins which makes them the perfect side for any meal. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamins and minerals, and don’t contain empty calories like white potatoes, and they are considered paleo.

Here is the recipe:

Start with a pan heated to medium.

Cover bottom with olive oil and add garlic salt, garlic powder and pepper (as much or as little as you like).

Try to scrub clean and cut out any bad spots.

Slice a white sweet potato in 1/4″ thick slices. Try to be as consistent as possible.

Lay flat in pan making sure that each slice in touching the pan.

Cook on medium-low for about 12 minutes. Flip and cook for 5-7 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. This will leave the slice soft and warm in the middle and the outside crispy.

Simply let cook a little longer on each side for a crispier version.

TIP: Listen for a crackle from the oil. this means it is time to flip.

7 Minute Morning

I’m usually in such a hurry in the mornings, and I spend more time on my hair and makeup than on making breakfast. Once my hair is curled and my cheeks blushed, I run down to the kitchen to see what I can grab. I have been eating a LOT of my blueberry muffins, but today I wanted a change.

So, with 10 minutes to spare, I made some delicious, nutritious eggs and veggies to start my week off right.

What you’ll need: 2 eggs, an onion, watercress, olive oil, salt, pepper.

Step 1 – Chop 1/4 slice of onion (with all layers intact). Fry in olive oil and cover until golden brown. MEDIUM Heat.

Step 2 – Beat 2 eggs in a bowl, and add some watercress, spinach, or other leaf veggie of your choosing. (I like watercress because it is nutrient rich and great for muscle recovery).

Step 3. Pour egg mixture over onions and scramble until no longer runny. Add salt and pepper.

Step 4. ENJOY!
