There are many things I love about the Internet, and one among them is the ease of finding recipes for pretty much anything. Want to make something specific? Google it. Want to make something out of the ingredients you have around but don't know what you can make? Google it. The answer to all quandaries, food-based or otherwise, is the same. Google it.
So in my quest to produce sweet potato fries that rival those of Hickory Park's here in Ames, I decided to use the magic of Google, and pictured here are the results. Based on Amy's impartial analysis, I'd say they were pretty good! We almost had the fries finished before the leftover brats were warmed up. These turned out quite a bit better than the last batch I attempted. The secret? I am better at baking "fries" than I am at frying them...
Later on tonight I noticed some bananas sitting on the counter getting along in age and thought "smoothies!" Then I wondered how I would go about making banana smoothies with yogurt and ice, so I Googled "banana yogurt ice smoothies" and bam! Instant recipe. Amy added the brilliant suggestion of tossing in some peanut butter, and a few minutes of quality blending time later we were sipping some tasty banana-peanut-butter-yogurt-ice smoothies!
How did the world get along before Google?
