Lime Zested Yucca Fries!

by Nicole on September 21, 2010

I’m in my most favorite spot on the couch and I just finished dinner. I had a pretty relaxing afternoon, I went to the food store to pick up a couple of things for juice and was on the lookout for pumpkin. I’ve seen it popping up all over the blog world, but I still can’t find Libby’s at the food store near me. I’ll have to look again at Trader Joe’s when I go Thursday or ask Danny to stop into the health food store by his work. Do they have canned pumpkin yet by you??

Danny had the dentist, so I wasn’t planning on cooking anything crazy. I had leftover baked tofu that I was going to have with some quinoa or something, but then when I opened the fridge the yucca I had was practically staring me down. It’s been in there for awhile and I didn’t want another fail so I’ve been waiting to make it. Tonight was the night.

They came out good, not great, but at least I could eat them this time. They still need a little tweaking, but they are worth making.

All cut up

Oven baked

I’m so excited for Glee to start again tonight! It’s a big day for TV: Parenthood, Glee and Biggest Loser! Let me know if you try these yucca fries and make any changes!

I have never had yucca!! It’s another one of those “heard of it…what IS it?!” veggies for me, haha. I’ve got a rutabega to try…but I think maybe my next new veg to give a go will be yucca?!
We never ran out of canned pumpkin up here!! For a while we just had the Price Chopper brand, which honestly, was just as good as Libby’s. I saw now we’ve got Libby’s back and no P.Chop brand, though! haha. I was disappointed, because I’d rather spend less and get the P.Chop. I mean…pumpkin is pumpkiN!! (though I hear the organic canned pumpkin is weird?)
Anyways. If you can’t find it soon let me know, I’ll send you some ;)

As a first-time “Glee” watcher (I know, I know) I was SO impressed with the show, especially the rendition of “Telephone.” I can’t wait for next week with Britney’s songs – it seriously looks amazing.
