Guys, I have an obsession, and it’s making my skin turn orange; AKA too much beta carotene from eating sweet potatoes (and these BBQ sweet potato fries don’t help LOL).
Does anyone else have this problem? On the bright side, I have been getting nice compliments from people saying that I look tanner, ( I don’t know why but I guess that’s a good thing) except it looks more like a fake spray on tan! I have been eating about one everyday for a year now and I am not planning on stopping any time soon.
My favorite way to enjoy them is making fries, extra crispy fries. With BBQ season in full charge, I decided to make a BBQ spice rub for fries.
Yes soak that in, BBQ flavoring +Sweet Potato fries (and I thought sweet tater fries couldn’t get any better). Well I guess I lied to myself because this is my favorite way to enjoy sweet taters now.

Oh I’m so obsessed with sweet potatoes, we probably have 7-10 pounds of them right now. I love making fries or chips or using them as the base for stir fry veggies and an egg (yum). But these bbq spiced fries – omg yum!! I am imagining them with so many things right now – so good!

Apparently if you drink carrot juice and then go lay outside for awhile in the sun, you’re skin will get very orange/tan)!

My fav sweet potato “recipe” isn’t really a recipe– I love mashed sweet potatoes with butter and salt! It’s pretty much the simplest thing ever but we love it!
