While there, we also nabbed a couple of sweet potatoes to incorporate into our dinner this evening.
I started by slicing the sweet potato before tossing the wedges in canola oil and salt.
I then spread them out on a cookie sheet and baked them at 415 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
We enjoyed the wedges along with muenster cheese and Morningstar Farms veggie bacon sandwiches.
It was a pretty random dinner, but it was also exactly what I was craving!
The rest of the night will be spent curled up on the couch with a movie.
In the DVD player this evening:
Ryan and I wanted to see it when it was in theaters, but never got around to it. We’ve heard great things, so let’s hope it’s a funny one!
Liz @ Blog is the New Black says
Your sweet pataters look so good!
Jenna says
Sometimes the most random dinners are the best. You’ve got to go with what you’re craving!
Kristy says
Love those sweet potatoes!!! YUM!!!
Brittany @ a healthy slice if life says
We watched that last night!! Laughed so hard! Probably would be a somewhat weak movie on it’s own, but Tina and steve are amazing!!!
Madi says
Date Night is really cute! Love that movie.
Liz @ LBBakes says
I make sweet potato fries like those at least once a week!
Kristy @ KristyRuns.com says
I love sweet potatoes! The Whole Food’s cold bar has some seriously awesome cajun sweet potato rounds. Delish! Yours don’t look too bad either. 😉
Shelby Stidham says
I LOVE Steve Carell so let me know if it’s good!
Meghan says
I got a tip from Rachel Ray to boil the slices for 5 minutes before baking. Since I started doing that they have been crisping up very nice!
I am not allowed to have Morningstar bacon anymore, 2 plates shattered in our microwave, and I burnt a paper plate, sadly I only nuked them for 1 1/2 minutes!
Caitlin says
Grocery store, sweet potatoes, and movie with fiancé sounds like the BEST night ever.

I hope you enjoy it! It’s hysterical!! And I want Tina Fey’s dress!! Apparently it was made specially for her in this movie (so it’s not a commercially made dress), and there were like 20 of them, since she had to mess them up so much during shooting.
Heidi says
Very movie movie! I hope you enjoy.
Lolzthatswim(andRun) says
I love sweet potatoes and any recipe that is involves them. thank you for sharing and I’m be trying this very soon.
Your movie choice is excellent as well. Seems like the perfect night if you ask me. 🙂

Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
Add a teensy bit of brown sugar (or Splenda brown sugar blend) and cumin – oh.my.lord. YUM!!
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says

Leah says
I have never commented on your blog but first off, love it!! Secondly, had to comment on the sweet potato fries- toss them with paprika and cinnamon!! HOLY COW delicious!!! Odd combination and not sure where I found that recipe but its so darn good. Do it! 🙂
Chelsea @ Strawberry Sweat says
Let us know how Date Night is! I’ve wanted to see it, but I can never seem to find it in the redboxs around us.
I do love sweet potato fries; I’ll add this to my recipes to make!
gingerbreadcake says
I love random dinners. 🙂 Sometimes you just have to eat what you crave, even if it’s completely random!
Amber K says
I wish I liked sweet potato, but sadly, no!
I can’t wait to see that movie; I’ve heard good things as well!
Kate says
Mmm yum! I love sweet potato. I had a pretty random dinner today too… corn on the cob, apple with peanut butter, and tortilla chips.
I liked Date Night alright but it wasn’t as funny as I was expecting. We did leave the theater quoting some of the lines though. You can’t go too far wrong with Tina Fey and Steve Carrell.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I LOVE Date Night. I saw it twice in theaters and am now the proud owner of the DVD. I realize I sound a bit obsessive but the movie is that good. haha
Bee Goes Bananas says
Sweet potato fries (or wedges) are so delicious! It’s hard to believe they’re so good for you. I thought Date Night was pretty funny! My friends and I saw it in theatres and we all enjoyed it.
Laura @ Tidbits says
MMM I just love sweet potato!
What did you think of Date Night??? We rented it just last week and LOVED it!
Ashley K. Edwards says
Once again, your food looks amazing. I need to think outside of the box more often and make my own creations!
hookedonhealth says
I love that movie, it was pretty funny!
Sweet potato wedges look wonderful, I rarely cook with them but I should defs start ASAP!
Katrina says
I second or third or something everyone who commented on the sweet potatoes – They Look Delish.
