Hi guys,
Are you ready for the weekend?
Today, I want to share with you the second recipe that is fast and very cheap to prepare. There is already one from this category on my blog and you can see this here (click).
To be honest, I never thought there was a healthy alternative to fries. What is more, it is so easy to prepare. As I have already mentioned on this blog, I try to eat healthy whenever I can but I also like to get some fries during my favorite TV Show or when watching a movie. This snack is a great alternative and great option to go for when you are about to start cooking/ordering something unhealthy but you would really prefer to eat something healthier.
Readers, let me know what your healthy alternatives are and if you ever tried butternut squash fries.
