Yumology’s Baked Avocado Fries

I can’t tell you all how excited I am to be swapping guest posts with one of my favorite blogging buddies, The Cookie Rookie. Becky is an amazing cook and blogger, and I am so happy she agreed to this little social experiment you are all unwittingly taking part in today.

Don’t worry, it’s minimally invasive.

First things first, I’m Megan and I write about food at Yumology.com. Yumology is mostly about original recipes from yours truly, but every once in a while you’ll come across the odd product review, personal anecdote, or rant about parenting. That’s right, I’m a mom to one delicious ToddlerBaby, and I’m married to the World’s Best CoffeeMaker, hence his moniker, CoffeeMaker. We all live in Kansas, America’s Heartland, and we try to cook with fresh, locally grown food as much as possible.

But, what about you? What’s your story? Why do you love food? There’s nothing like sharing a meal together to help forge new friendships – hence, my presence here today. I wanted the opportunity to meet new people and share new ideas, thoughts and recipes. I know Becky felt the same way, which is why she’s over on Yumology right now sharing some of her delicious dishes with my readers (click HERE to see her Red White and Blue Sangria on Yumology).

I hope you’ll come on over to Yumology and tell me all about yourselves when you have the chance. You can find me on my website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest and Tumblr. So, there are lots of ways to say “hello.”

I look forward to meeting you, but for now, let’s eat!

It’s summertime. The kids are home, which means the kids are hungry 99.9% of the time. My son is only two, but I swear he eats his body weight before noon each day. Coming up with healthy breakfast ideas, snacks, lunches and dinners can be a real challenge. I’ve found the best way to combat those summertime cravings is with healthy food the kids can enjoy outside, on the go.

In an effort to provide ToddlerBaby and his friends with something healthier than chips and french fries, I decided to explore baked avocado fries as an afternoon snack. I had seen them done a few different ways on other food blogs, but for me, this recipe is quick, cheap and delicious: the tri-fecta for busy moms!
