What a great change from ordinary baked fries. These Cajun Style Oven Fries are not only great but they are a snap to throw together also. A yummy recipe.

Goes great with burgers or steak and is good for you too!

The spicy seasoning is just right and adheres well to the potatoes. I don’t think my family will want to eat fries any other way now.

This Southern Yellow Squash with Onions is one of my favorite ways to eat squash. It’s a fantastic southern side-dish. Onion and yellow crookneck squash absolutely have to go together.

Bacon is a bonus add in!!!
