With fried chicken, to me even mediocre isn’t worth it. It needs to be crunchy outside with well-seasoned breading that is present but not overpoweringly thick.The meat must be juicy.It must never be greasy. In fact, you should almost forget that it is fried. While I love tackling homemade versions of my favorite indulgent foods, deep frying is a line I haven’t crossed. It sounds like a hot mess and a splurge I prefer to save for when I’m out to eat....

In a great coming-of-age moment, I have finally owned my full-on love of sweet potato fries and order my own full serving when we are out, instead of pestering my husband Ben to split his (or pilfering them directly from his plate).

As my fellow fry lovers can attest, life/reality would be much more fun if we could all eat sweet potato fries as often as we pleased and have it be good for our health…....

“These are great food-on-the-go!” These little morsels came about when I was having a bunch of friends over for brunch.
