Sweet Potato Fries

1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into fries
Coconut or olive oil
Salt and pepper

Preheat an oven to 350°.

Combine cinnamon, ginger, coriander and brown sugar in large mixing bowl. Add fries and toss with enough olive oil to coat evenly. Spread onto a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.

**for a healthier version - omit the brown sugar.  It still tastes great!**

½ cup cocoa
2 Tbsp. honey
2 cups sugar
4 eggs

Mint icing
Chocolate frosting

Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9x13 baking pan.

Melt butter in medium sauce pan.  Mix in cocoa and cool slightly.  Add honey, sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well and add nuts. Pour batter into greased pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes. Cool.
