Sign Up for the Self Challenge 2011
I'm offically signed up for the 2011 Self Challenge (under the username DEELISHEX). March 17th is the start date so there is plenty of time to join. I've done the challenge yearly since my college (undergrad) days and I have no intention of stopping. In a word: INSPIRING!! If you have never done a self challenge I recommend checking it out, especially if your looking to "get in shape" for summer (108 days!!) or if you are looking for a way to jumpstart any health and wellness goals. I will periodically update on my progress once the challenge is underway.
That said - here was tonight's dinner:
That said - here was tonight's dinner:
Oven Baked Spicy Sweet Potato Wedges
Servings: 1 - 2, depending on size of potato
2 sweet potatos, peeled
1 tsp pure olive oil
Mrs Dash Seasoning Blends: Extra Spicy & Original
Wash and peel your potatoes. Slice potato in half horizontally, then cut your two halves down the middle. Depending on size of potato and desired thickness of wedge, you may want to cut eat piece again. Once cut, place wedges in a bowl and pour in 1 tsp of olive oil. Toss to ensure all pieces are coated, using more oil if needed. Shake on your seasonings - amount varies by personal preference - and toss again. Arrange potatoe wedges in a single layer on baking tray and bake at 350F for approx 25 minutes.

My fries came out PERFECT but the patties were way blander that I anticipated. (Something to keep that in mind when seasoning your own.) but have high hopes for my next go them. Hope you have a great weekend!!
