Every once in a while I just crave French fries, but with my HIT—Healthy,
Inexpensive, Tasty—philosophy of eating, I try to resist. Then I ran across
this recipe and once I tweaked it to our tastes, my husband and I can enjoy
fries guilt free.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 large, but long and skinny Yukon Gold or russet potatoes,
scrubbed and dried
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon oregano
Crumbled feta cheese
1 lb. chicken breast
Greek yogurt
Preheat oven to 450 F.
Butterfly chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and grilled, then shredded
Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; cut each
slice into 1/4-inch fries. Toss the potatoes and oil in a large bowl. Season
with zest, dried oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley,
oregano, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Spread potatoes on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and bake
10 minutes. Flip fries, and bake until crisp and brown, another 15 minutes.
I prep all the ingredients in advance so I can assemble quickly while the fries are still hot. Top fries with chicken. Sprinkle Greek yogurt and feta cheese
over top.

inside.
As police chief, Wally is inevitably drawn into the
investigation, which seems to indicate that foul play is afoot again in Scumble
River, and Skye can't help but do a bit of her own sleuthing. But the clues

her for good.

another hit for cozy fans with Die Me a River, the latest installment in her

Enjoy the occasional romance?
Take one smoking-hot top chef who thinks food should be a
sensual adventure, add a venture capitalist who has struggled with her weight
since she was a teenager, and mix well. Is this a recipe that sizzles, or is he
just another craving she must resist?
* * *
Deanna Sloan has worked too hard, dieting herself from a chubby
teenager to a sleek businesswoman, to give in to her hunger now. Enduring four
years as the target of her high school classmates’ cruelty taught her that only
three things matter—power, money, and looks.
Leaving her small town behind, shedding the excess pounds, and
obtaining a job with a six-figure salary are all steps in the right direction.
However, in order to keep on target, she needs to outshine the other twenty
venture capitalist associates at her new firm, maintain her weight loss, and be
prepared to double-cross anyone who gets in her way. Walk in the park, right?
Wrong! Her first assignment is an investment appraisal of one of
Chicago’s top chefs. Nico Thorne has come to her firm for the seed money to
open his own restaurant. He is smoking hot and just a glimpse of his navy blue
eyes in a photo clouds Deanna’s brain and dampens her panties. Will the
flesh-and-blood man make her dissolve into a puddle of mindless lust that will
derail her fast track to success?
Like Deanna, Nico’s past drives his present choices. He hates
his father for using his mother’s social status to further his career, then
abandoning her. As a teenager, Nico’s anger at his father resulted in a
hair-trigger temper and a vow never to fall in love. Although Nico may have
learned to control his demons, he still avoids women who even hint at wanting
anything deeper than a few nights of uncommitted fun.
That is until he sees Deanna. Her cinnamon curls and soft green
eyes totally captivate him. As they spend more and more time together, Nico’s
determination to keep their relationship casual dissolves and he realizes that
she might be his amore mio. But will he be able to convince Deanna that he’s
the one for her?
Deanna fights her attraction to Nico, fearful that giving in
will mean the loss of both her figure and her job. Can Nico overcome a lifetime
of distrust? Can Deanna embrace life—imperfections and all?
Publisher’s warning: This book contains sensual consummated love
scenes.
