Friday Night Lite- Sloppy Joes & Oven "fries"

     If you're like me you like to have something a little more "fun" for dinner on Friday nights. Tonight we're having Almost Meatless Sloppy Joes featured in the May 2010 edition of Cooking Light (Click Here for Recipe). 

This is both a healthy and budget conscience recipe that your whole family will love. (I used fresh tomatoes from my garden, organic carrots and beans, and Grass-Fed Ground Beef.  Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken instead)

     For a side dish, we are having mama's homemade oven fries. My daughter HATES all things potato, but when I whip up these "fries" she gobbles them right up. Hope you enjoy them as much as her!
