Week 2: Sweet Potato Fries, Savory Baked Chicken and Veggies, and Better Than Sex Cake

These are the two recipes I tried this week! Enjoy!!

Sweet Potato Fries
I made these before when I needed to get my gall bladder taken out and had to eat low fat. I cut up sweet potatos and put them into a big plastic bag. I mixed egg white with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, and cumin. I changed the recipe to include a little less cumin and chili powder because I don't like things too spicy. I tried baking them on wax paper to make clean-up easier... It just made them stick to the paper. Michael and I give this recipe 3 thumbs up. They didn't turn out as crunchy as I would have liked, and Michael prefers regular fries to sweet potato fries. I'll make a few changes next time and make then even better!

Savory Baked Chicken and Veggies
This recipe was from my new Bisquick cookbook. I cut up red potatoes, onion, and green pepper and covered them in a mustard-water mixured, then baked them. I brushed mustard onto chicken strips, then coated them in bisquick. I baked the chicken and veggies a little longer. Oh yeah, there was also parmesean cheese and paprika sprinkled over the veggies and chicken. Michael and I give this recipe 2 thumbs up (out of 4). It was ok, but not a flavor I was really crazy about and Michael isn't crazy about veggies, so it wasn't really his thing either. We'll finish he leftovers, but probably won't make this one again.

Better Than Sex Cake
I didn't name it, I just made it! :) This is a regular devil's food cake mix, after it's baked and cooled a few minute you poke holes in the cake, then pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over it, let it seep into the cake. Then I poured ice cream caramel and chocolate ice cream sauce over the top of that. Put the cake in the fridge and let it cool all the way through. Lastly, top with whipped cream, more caramel and chocolate, and crushed Heath bars! Yum! Michael and I give this cake 4 thumbs up!! We both love sweet things, so this was a big hit for us! I highly suggest you try this one!
