Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Honey-Lime Dip

Recipe by Our Best Bites

1 lb peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/4" match-sticks

2 T extra virgin olive oil

1/2 t cumin

1/2 t oregano

1/2 t coriander

1 t kosher salt

1 t parsley

1/8 tsp black pepper

*you want 1lb sweet potatoes after they are peeled, sliced, etc. If you weigh them at the store make sure you have a little more than a pound to allow for the peeling, and tossing of small pieces.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a small bowl combine cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, parsley, and pepper.                     

Place sweet potatoes in a pile directly on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Use hands to toss until all pieces are well coated.  Sprinkle seasoning mixture on top and toss again with hands to coat. 

Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer so that pieces are not touching each other.  Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes.  Use a metal spatula to gently flip fries and then return pan to oven. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until fries are starting to lightly brown and crisp.  Remove pan from oven and cool 5 minutes.  Serve immediately.


Honey-Lime Dip

6oz container plain, low-fat yogurt*

1 T mayo (low cal is fine)

1/2 T honey

1 Tbs fresh lime juice

1/4 t cumin

1/8 t oregano

1 t parsley

1/2 t onion powder

1/2 t kosher salt


Mix all ingredients until combined.  Chill until ready to use.


*I didn't have any mayo or plain yogurt or lime, and substituted Key Lime Pie flavored yogurt and added a smidgen of honey and Cumin, and Viola' perfection.

*Kid Approved!*

AGA Cast Iron Range

This seems like a practical way to bake, a lot less space than those double ovens 

and a lot more cuter 

(is that a word?)  

Aren't they positively yummy?

You can get your very own here!

K, they're a little spendy over $5,000.00...Youv've gotta be really in love.

At 24 inches wide, it may be small in stature, but it's big on performance and style. This dual-fuel range features four versatile gas burners, one conventional oven with an integral broiler and one convection oven. And of course, it's made with that classic Aga design available in 15 delicious colors. As a free-standing range it brings the versatility of dual-fuel cooking into any kitchen. For 2 Oven, 3 Oven and 4 Oven Aga owners, it provides additional cooking surfaces by attaching directly to the left hand side of either model. Or, it can be placed in a separate location in the kitchen.

Over $9,000.00

Love it!

The Inside Story

1. Insulated Covers: Those twin insulated covers are the great Aga hallmark. When closed, they`re just gently warm to the touch. Open them and both hot plates are instantly ready to cook.
2. Boiling Plate: A high heat that can boil water faster than most electric kettles. It`s large enough to hold three average sized saucepans at once.
3. Heat Source: Once an Aga is up to operating temperature just a trickle of energy is all that`s needed to keep it there. You can choose from natural gas, propane gas, electricity or oil.
4. Simmering Plate: Again holds three average sized saucepans. It also doubles as a griddle.
5. Roasting Oven: This oven can take anything up to a 13kg/28lb bird. It is also used for grilling and doubles for baking.
6. Baking Oven: Featured in every 3 or 4 oven Aga. Like all Aga ovens the cast iron interior holds in its heat tenaciously, so don`t be afraid to open the door and take a peek at progress.
7. Simmering Oven: Using this versatile oven in conjunction with the hotter oven and hotplates is the key to Aga cooking simplicity - and its wonderful flavors.
8. Warming Oven: Featured on every 4 oven Aga. Keeps cooked food warm without drying it out, ideal for entertaining.
9. Warming Plate: A valuable general purpose surface standard on every 4 oven Aga.

Weck Canning Jars

I have done a lot of canning over the years, but I'm sure I would've had a lot more fun canning in these jars. Or at least it probably would taste better...right?

These beautiful jars make everything look better anyway.
