The grill king

Is it okay if I proclaim Kyle to be the Grill King?  He works wonders with the grill and makes some very tasty delights. Even if you know your own grill king, Kyle is the grill king of our castle!

If you had a busy weekend like we did here's a quick recap:
- PF Chang's Date Night
- Shawn & Taina's engagement party
- A yucky run
- High Intensity How-To
Now back to the king!  Kyle got a new grill a few weeks ago and this was the first time I got to enjoy it in action. Mmmm. 

For dinner he grilled steak, salmon, chicken, and asparagus. We also roasted zucchini and Kyle scored once again with his chili sweet potato fries.

My salmon came from Cooking Light magazine and it was topped with a tomato-peach salsa. I'll blog that recipe soon.


The star of my plate was the baked sweet potato fries. Yes ma'am!  

Kyle's Killer Sweet Potato Fries
Here's a quick how-to:

- wash sweet potato well
- slice the sweet potato with skin on into very thin strips
- for extra crispiness soak the potato in water for about 1 hour
- toss with a little evoo and chili powder (the secret kick)
-bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until crispy

If you need to borrow Kyle to cut your sweet potatoes he's available!  I simply can't cut them as small as he can.


We ended our night relaxing with the Next Food Network Star before a busy Monday today. Back to the grind!


Who is the main griller in your home?

Asia does not like to grill.  She likes to sleep.

Love and grill marks,
Carissa and Kyle
