Maple Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Bacon

Oven roasted sweet potato fries seasoned with rosemary and thyme then glazed with maple syrup. Crispy grilled bacon is mixed in to make this the ultimate side dish.

Hello and happy hump day! I love Wednesdays because it’s as if you can almost smell the weekend. I can’t wait!

Since I bought my bottle of maple syrup last week, I have been happily using it. First it was to make Maple Almond Granola and this time, I used it to slather over some oven roasted sweet potato fries.

Vegetarian Yellow Split Pea Curry

High in fiber and vegetable protein, this yellow split pea curry is delicious, budget friendly and freezes really well. Get ready to make a big batch and freeze up leftovers for when you need them.

Hello! How was your weekend? Did you get up to anything active? Whatever you did, I hope you had a good time. The weather here was pretty sunny although there were strong gusts of winds. I am proud to report that my long run on Sunday went much better than last week’s run. I think it helped that I brought some water with me to sip on every 15 minutes throughout the 165 minutes that I was out pounding the pavement. Well I say pounding but it was more like plodding.

Anyway, for today’s Meatless Monday series I have a fantastic curry recipe!

Maple Almond Granola (with no refined sugar)

This granola is sweetened with maple syrup and packed with almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and sultanas. So easy to make and so good for you.

Hello! Today is time for a breakfast post. It’s no secret that I am utterly obsessed with granola. However, I was quick to realize that most store bought granola is packed with sugar. So, although it is really delicious, it’s not so good for you and if you asked me, I would much rather use my sugar quota eating cake.

So, go crazy making your own granola!
