Welcome to the Royal Texans Blog

The Royal Texans blog is all about our family and the people we love. It's a little crazy being a Mommy of two lil' guys, but I eventually post everything so check back often for updates on Oliver and Miles!

I must confess...

My confession is that I let Oliver eat french fries. I love, love, love french fries and every time I get them I let Oliver eat a few and as a result, he loves, loves, loves french fries too. I feel at least a little bit guilty every time he takes a bite considering this is a very unhealthy lifelong habit I have started for him. If you read my blog, you know I have been trying recipes from The Sneaky Chef cook book. Well tonight I turned our unhealthy habit into something much more manageable in the long run! Introducing The Sneaky Chef's Crispy No-Fry French Fries. This is one I was skeptical about as I have had baked fries before and they are nothing like the deep-fat fried versions. Well, the book proved me wrong...they were delicious. I used my beloved Cuisinart mandoline to slice the potatoes into perfect little strips and followed the instructions exactly.

Surprisingly they turned out delicious! This is a picture I found from someone else who tried the recipe.





I don't usually attach recipes that are not available on the Internet, but I had to because Missy Lapine states that the russet potato is the highest antioxidant vegetable out there...she has a pretty great resume, so I am inclined to trust her on this one...plus I want to believe it is true! :) See for yourself.

Good Morning Angel!

I loved how blue Oliver's eyes looked when I went in to get him this morning

I also love this cheesy grin he gives me when I ask him to smile! :)
