Every Tuesday, I make sweet potato fries.
Matthew has hockey on Tuesday evenings and insists on making his own pre-game meal — carefully measured pasta with a couple tablespoons of tomato sauce — so I get to indulge in my favourite comfort food without feeling guilty that I'm cooking selfishly. (Matthew doesn't get as excited about sweet potatoes as I do. Weird.)
So even though my husband is out of town for a few days — Fun fact: this is our first time apart overnight since we got married almost two years ago! — I stuck to the food schedule.

*Leave skin on. Peeling is tedious, unnecessary and robs you of the good stuff.
