Ginger + Curry Sweet Potato Fries

2011-07-08 12.26.11

So we are well into NHL and NBA playoff season, which means that pretty much every night there is an opportunity to get together with friends and watch a great hockey or basketball game (or both).  It also means that there are plenty of opportunities to cook together and enjoy a meal in between moments of shouting at the tv.

My favorite hockey team, the Minnesota Wild, just so happens to be in the playoffs right now so I cooked dinner for my friends while we watched game 2.  In coming up with the menu, I wanted to cook a variety of finger-foods that appealed to men and women, were packed full of flavor and that felt reminiscent of something that you could get at a sports arena.  One of the items that I made was my interpretation of the classic and always favorite Sweet Potato Fries.  I was so happy to serve this dish to people that I love!

Thai Basil + Chicken Stir Fry

2011-05-07 12.38.20

Ohhhhh the colors in this dish make me weak in the knees.  I had an extra chicken breast (that was already cooked!) so this rainbow of flavor and vitamins only took me 15 minutes to make… and about 30 seconds to inhale.

I would highly recommend trying to find thai basil for this recipe because it has subtle hints of mint and licorice to it, but regular basil will do just fine.
