day 6 - Baked Potato Fries

yesterday was so busy...a dr.appointment first thing in the morning started things out and I finished the day with a belated baby shower and talking till late at night... My diet kinda stunk though...I DID get in breakfast though so I'll give myself a break I guess..:)

high - hanging out with friends
low - no low...just a good day

todays food for thought: if stress makes you gain weight and ruins your health...is it better to eat whatever and relax about it, or eat just healthy food but stress about it?

Yummy salty fries without all the fat...

Baked Potato Fries

How: Spray calorie-free nonstick cooking spray in a roasting pan. Slice the potatoes and add salt and pepper and any seasonings you like.

Why: French fries are one of the most beloved foods in America, but a typical serving of French fries can contain about 600 calories. Leave the skins on because they provide all the essential nutrients, like potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and even protein. For a metabolism kick (spicy foods have been shown to temporarily increase metabolism) and a taste kids will love, try making spicy fries with a dash of cayenne pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
