Now that Longevity has closed, here’s an even healthier version -- sweet potato fries that are baked instead of fried -- to satisfy the craving.



Preheat oven to 400 degrees.



Slice sweet potatoes into whatever size fries you prefer.



Mix in bowl with at least…

We love them unconditionally, even when chastising them. One glance at those adorable saucer eyes, reveals their complete and utter trust in us. So even as they run amok through the house, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake, we forgive them.

Because, if someone else took care of it, I would miss out on all the important stuff I am supposed to learn through the experience of getting out there. For those who have received my newsletter in the past, you have read…
