Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe

I'm gonna try and knock out two blogs today for you guys before I have to pick Jace up from school. Last night I made these Sweet Potato Wedges as well as Homemade Chicken Nuggets/Tenders which will be my next blog. These Sweet Potato Wedges are kidney-friendly, so delicious and from the National Kidney Foundation. Although Jace didn't like them, I loved them! And if you are a fan of a sweet side dish, you will want to try these. I purchased Sparkling Apple Cider and reduced it and topped it on the sweet potatoes. It gave it a nice, sweet - but not too sweet, syrup topping. This recipe is super easy to make and only uses four ingredients. I purchased the sweet potatoes from Trader Joe's. Let me know if you make this recipe below!

Ingredients:
2 cups Sparkling Apple Cider
1/2 tsp Almond Extract
2 large Sweet Potatoes, cut into 8-10 wedges
Olive Oil

Directions:
Simmer sparkling apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat for 45 minutes or until it's a little thick. Add almond extract and let cool to room temperature. 

Cut/slice sweet potatoes into wedges. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sweet potatoes on a PAM or sprayed cookie sheet and spread out sweet potatoes. 

Top with olive oil and bake 45 minutes or until they are beginning to brown. Turn several times while cooking. Add the sparkling apple cider reduction to the sweet potatoes and cook in the oven five more minutes. Serve as a side or a snack.

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
