Sometimes, no matter whats going on with the week, Monday seems like, well, like a Monday. I drag a little on Mondays. I think it stems from the Monday through Friday school week that was beaten into me for 16 plus years. Hate Mondays, Love Fridays.. Yup, I blame the public educational system(I have to blame someone)
I want my day back. I don't want to feel the drag today. I am going to have a fantastic day. I'm getting excited, pumped up and ready for the week. I am turning my Mondays into fun days. Funday Monday...Yes, yes I did just say that. . See, don't we all feel better already?
On this Funday, I don't want to worry all day what I am going to make for dinner, I just want something tasty and easy. .Whats better than a plate of fries?……. a plate of roasted rutabaga fries! Yes! See, we are already having a great day. A plate of fries, easy, delicious and nutritious. Not a bad start to the week. You can eat them with just about anything, a grilled cheese tomato and avocado sandwich, a bowl of curried lentil soup..or just straight up eat a big old pile of these roasted rutafries (That a word, I swear) Just have fun with it. Its funday Monday after all.
One large rutabaga… This one fed 2 as a side… but if your eating just the fries, eat a whole one to your face. It's totally cool.
Chop the rutabaga into fries and toss with a smidge of oil, salt, pepper and ground up rosemary. Don't like the rosemary… don't use it. Maybe try something else like sage or garlic and onion powder or curry powder. Just use whatever you like. Throw into a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, give them a flip and back in for another 15, Simple. Easy.
Remove from oven when crisped to your liking and eat.
Yes, this was a dinner of rutafries and brussel sprouts, is that a problem? I don't think so .A suggestion, .dip in mustard….its fantastic, but go the ketchup route if that s your fancy.
Alright people..Have a great day and remember to not let today be a drag of a Monday, make it fun, looking forward to a plate of rutafries for dinner and think of how great the rest of the week is going to be!( I might have been a motivational speaker in a past life)
FUNDAY MONDAY!!!!!
