Today is the first day of Autumn! The weather is beginning to change… well in Florida it went from days averaging high 90’s to the low 90’s.  I get so excited at the first sign of the weather changing.  Excited for the holidays, cooler weather, pulling out my sweaters, and most of all the seasonal cooking!  I have seen many bloggers already posting fall themed recipes that include pumpkin, spice cakes, and sweet potatoes.  But if you haven’t already, get out all of your fall ingredients and decorations!  I love sweet potatoes year round, so I decided to make these easy, homemade sweet potato fries and save it for today.
