My Jenny Craig journey continues.  Staying on track during the summer can be a challenge.  Finding summer recipes can help you make better choices while attending barbecues and summer festivities.

This past 4th of July, I used two Jenny Craig recipes to keep me on track.  The Sweet Potato Fries were delish and so easy to make.  While enjoying the day, I forgot to take pics, but take my word for it – this recipe is a simple way to stay on track.

 

Sweet Potato Fries
Prep Time: 5 minutes / Cook Time: 30-40 minutes
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch
strips

cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until brown on

another 15-20 minutes, until tender and brown. Top with
salt and pepper, if desired. Yield: 2 servings.
