Jicama and Sweet Potato "Fries"

Thank you again for all of the SWEET comments about our wedding photos :) You guys rock! I'm walking around with a huge head today haha.

How was your day? Mine went pretty well. Work was busy and flew by. When I got home, I knew I REALLY wanted to get a run in. Despite the fact that today was suppose to be a rest day....I haven't been able to run outside in quite some time because I've been teaching so much! As a result, I capitalized on the nights freedom and went for a glorious 4 mile run. I then did some house work/ran some errands and got started on din din.

Cantaloupe was on sale this past week, which is why you've been seeing it so much on the blog! I LOVE cantaloupe and really capitalized on the sale!! I enjoyed my last (tear) bowl tonight:


I also tossed 1 cup of jicama and 1 sweet potato (sliced thin) in a little olive oil and then cooked them at 425 until brown and slightly crispy. I served them with a salsa and pinto bean mixture:

The salsa was from Publix GreenWise (organic!) line and was VERY delicious):
Here is a close up of the salsa/bean mixture:


And the jicama and sweet potato fries:


It really hit the spot! Since dinner was on the light side, I will probably either enjoy a little indulgent dessert later. Time for So You Think You Can Dance! What are you doing tonight?
