7. Carrot and Sweet Potato Fries

2 huge carrots
2 medium sweet potatoes
2T olive oil (in the future I might use a little bit less)
1 tsp cumin
sea salt to taste
pepper to taste

I cut up the veggies into roughly the same sized “fries,” then tossed them in a bowl with the olive oil. Then I spread them out on a baking sheet and seasoned them, and baked them for 30 minutes, until they started getting brown around the edges. I really like these… and hopefully it will be a way to sneak some nutritious food into a form that my dad will actually eat.

6. Apple Carrot Ginger Juice

5 small apples
8 carrots
1 inch piece of ginger

It made about 2.5 servings, and it’s pretty good. It’s easy to prep and clean up after too.

5. Apple and Berry Bake

I’m officially starting my 15-day reboot today… and since it’s my first time trying this, I plan on following meal plan pretty closely. I think that all of the recipes that I try for the next couple of weeks will be from the Reboot With Joe website.

3 small apples, chopped up
6-8 lg strawberries, halved
Maybe 1/4 c. organic blueberries
3T raisins
cinnamon
nutmeg

I don’t know how much cinnamon and nutmeg I used… I just kind of sprinkled some nutmeg over the top of all of it, and accidentally spilled a lot of cinnamon into the concoction, but it smelled amazing while it was baking. I baked it for 45 minutes in a covered casserole dish at maybe 325. I’m not a huge fan of mushy baked apples, but it was okay. It might be nice in the winter months especially, and maybe with some walnuts thrown in. Also, I might try different berries to see how it changes the taste.
