I am writing this week’s newsletter on July 12, which is National French Fry Day! What better day is there during the year than National French Fry Day? To me, there may not be a better day in all the land!

To honor such a momentous occasion, we are sharing our Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries recipe.

The sweet potato is so underrated in the world of fries. I personally have underrated it for years as I never really looked at it as an actual fry. But don’t sleep on the sweet potato fry. It has a wonderful texture and flavor that pairs wonderfully with all your favorite dipping sauces - ketchup, ranch, etc.

The other beautiful part of this recipe is that they are made even healthier in the air fryer. This is the one kitchen appliance that you must simply add to your arsenal. It can turn so many recipes into a family-friendly and family-healthy option.

Happy (belated) National French Fry Day to all of our Foodness Followers!

Remember to look for clever ingredient swaps and FAQs on more and more recipes every week!

Responsibility

As home chefs, we can’t always take the time to make a three-course meal for the family. When we can, it’s amazing to see the joy that comes from seeing the family enjoy our hard work.

However, there are times when you’re in a rush and you need to find efficiency with products like the air fryer to do the hard work for you.

Or, you can read through our recent Responsibility article about using staples from your pantry to make an easy and healthy meal.

There are some real gems in this article that you need to read!

Foodness Fun - Poll

Last week’s newsletter was all about breakfast. I asked the question about how our Foodness Followers prefer their eggs:

  • Scrambled

  • Over Easy/Medium/Hard

The results are in and the winner had 57% of the vote. I did learn something in this poll…sometimes I need to include an option for “I love them both!” Many comments came in saying they picked one option, but really love eggs both ways.

I will correct this in future polls.

Enough delay…the winner is:

Over Easy/Medium/Hard

“I love them with cheese and crumbled sausage or bacon!”
