The long awaited summer is here is here! With summer come long leisurely days spent outdoors - in the garden, at the park, at the beach..... That brings with it picnics and barbecues. What better way to celebrate summer than with light bites, finger food, cold soups, fresh salads and barbecues.
This week I am sharing my recipe for sweet potato fries. It goes wonderfully with the chicken burgers recipe I shared last week. Enjoy!
