Girl meets Grill!

Well since our poor little fat girl's blog has been SO neglected, I thought I would add something from this week's meal experience.

I keep seeing recipes for cooking potatos and pizza on the grill, so I thought I would try my beloved sweet potato fries grill side!

I washed and sliced my yam or sweet potato into large steak fries and tossed them in a little bit of EVOO, chili powder and S&P. Meanwhile, I heated up the grill and then turned it on medium-ish heat. Please the fries on a peice of foil and lay that on a rack just over the flames. You must keep an eye on them so they do not burn - they cook very quickly (in about 10 minutes). I tossed them around a few times until browned on all sides. My realization is that it is VERY difficult to get these things to be crispy, so I have stopped trying and they still taste amazing.

Final Thoughts: Taste fabulous and so much faster!

Next I am going to try Jackie's Joy breakfast pizza on the grill.
