Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

By

Hi, friends! I hope you are having a nice Saturday! Here are some highlights from our morning, including a ridiculously delicious recipe for Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes that you NEED to try ASAP!

Our day started like usual: Up and at ’em before the sun, followed by breakfast, CrossFit, and Coffee Shack for iced coffee and donuts. I love our family “gym days” so much. I truly look forward to them all week. Remember when I talked about The Perfect Day Formula? Well, this type of morning would definitely be part of it.

And, pretty exciting for me, I got a PR during the workout: 100 unbroken Double Unders! I’ve done 90-something at least a couple of times, but never 100. (I stopped right at 100 because I was so relieved I made it, but now I wish I kept going!)

Back at home, we helped Quinn select some “baby toys” to donate. I wasn’t sure how giving away his toys would go, but he was awesome about it. After our neighbors “who are getting older” gave him a bunch of cool toys, it made sense to him! 🙂

When lunchtime rolled around, Quinn opted for a nap over food, which makes me wonder if he’s my kid, but, hey, at least he’ll be hungry when he wakes up, right?

You guys might have seen these babies on CNC Instagram Stories, so, as promised, here’s how to make one of my new favorite snacks/side dishes/appetizers: Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes. They couldn’t be easier to make and, my gosh, they are delicious! ENJOY!

Bacon-Wrapped Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 medium/large sweet potato, cut into wedges
  • 1 pound of sliced bacon

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Wrap one slice of bacon around each sweet potato wedge and place on a baking sheet with silicon mat (or tin foil). If you have extra sweet potato wedges, place them in between wrapped pieces to cook and absorb extra bacon fat as they cook. 🙂 Bake for 35-40 minutes until bacon is fully cooked and sweet potatoes are soft. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with BBQ sauce, blue cheese dressing, or other favorite dipping sauce.

Question of the Day

In this very moment, would you rather eat or nap?

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
