So I’ve been a bit absent from the blog lately because I’ve been super busy redesigning this bad boy. I’ve been working like crazy redesigning and adding functionality to this blog to improve your experience! You can now search in a search bar, visually browse by category, and easily print any recipe with the click of a button. This blog is just little ol’ me so these changes take time and lots of woman-hours on my part! I hope you enjoy the changes I’ve been so excited to share!! I’d love to know your thoughts!
On to the food!!!
Oven-baked fries are one of life’s great cheats. As long as they’re eaten fresh an hot, they are crisp and tender just like their deep fried cousins. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for deep fried deliciousness, it’s just not Monday night when it’s easier to chop a potato myself than leave the house AGAIN after a long day. The oh-so-brilliant Molly Quinn Bricker concocted this crazy delicious tangy avocado sauce that we have officially decided to put on allll the things! Fish, chicken, crackers, corn chips, really anything and everything. It’s a cinch to make, creamy like an aoli but without the mayo and eggs and with soooo much flavor. Give it a go! Gosh the food photographer in me can’t get enough of the flaky salt against the crisp, blistered skin. Sigh…
