Seasoned Potato Fries/Wedges


Seasoned Potato Fries/Wedges

Now these would be perfect for Superbowl Sunday! Go Pats! :-) 

Ingredients:
-Potatoes, peeled and cut in to wedges
-Olive oil in an oil sprayer
-1 teaspoon cumin
-2 teaspoons chili powder
-2 teaspoons garlic powder

Directions:

~Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
~In a small mixing bowl, combine your spices.
~Spray a cookie sheet with olive oil and spread out the potato wedges in a single layer.
~Sprinkle the spices over the potatoes. Go ahead, be generous.
~Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft when poked with a fork.
~If you like soft fries, you can take them out of the oven now. If you like crunchier fries, turn your oven on broil and broil for about 10 minutes more, or until the potatoes start to brown nicely.
~Allow to cool for a bit. (Potatoes tend to hold on to heat!)

Welcome!!

Whoooo! My first official post! :-)

I just want to welcome you all to my blog and just say a few things to start! 

I'm a wife, fur mama and a stay home mom of 2 toddlers, a 4 year old boy named Enzo and a 2 year old girl named Stella...love them to pieces but as any Mom knows, our kids have a tendency to make us crazy at times lol ;-) I'm fairly certain you'll be hearing a lot about my life as a Mom as I try to figure this thing called life out. 

I've always had a passion for being part of the health and fitness world but I never had the courage to make it a reality...until 1 year ago.  I was 6 months into my own journey of "get my body back" after having my daughter and gaining close to 60 lbs and just feeling miserable about myself. Getting started has not been easy, finding the time to fit in everything has been a challenge as well BUT I have managed to keep myself on track for well over a year now with my amazing team of fitness coaches and our accountability groups we host each month. They've truly been my savior. I am far from perfect, my kids drive me insanely crazy at times, I love my wine, cheez-its, chocolate chips and french fries and I will NEVER give those up! :-) I firmly believe in everything in moderation! :-) 80/20 so they say..right? 

I love to motivate and support others through their own health/fitness journeys. Being part of others success, progress and seeing how their lives change with Beachbody has been so rewarding and I am truly thankful this "job" came into my life when it did!   

So, if you're looking for support, yummy recipes, humor and a safe place to come for motivation and inspiration, then you've come to the right place! Thanks for stopping by!
