My favorite treat after wine is French Fries. Admittedly, my real favorite is to consume the both of them together in place of dinner on a Friday night! And I love all kinds of fries: fat, skinny, curly, waffle…you name it. I love drenching them in ketchup and would gladly eat them in place of any meal. But I do this rarely, because it just doesn’t end well. Sadly, I miss them all the time. But enough about me! I figured it was high time for me to set out to try and create a healthier substitute. Here it goes…
