How do you eat them, with your hands?

I love ketchup! When I was little I thought I was going to market and sell bottles of "Mutchup" (I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea, Kramer has the same idea as well). Sometimes I use food solely as tool to eat more ketchup. Take french fries for example, I could eat a whole plate of them, but mainly because I want the ketchup served with them. Recently a blogger (I can't seem to remember who) blogged about butternut squash french fries. Being a fan of sweet potato fries and butternut squash , I decided to give them a try. They were amazing, so much better then sweet potato fries. Here is how I made mine:





Yup, I eat my fries with a fork, just like George eats his snickers with a fork.
"What do you eat the with, your hands?"
Clearly I like spicy things, these could also be made without the spicy aspect. And If you notice my ketchup is in a glass container. I try to avoid plastic as much as possible and disposable items as well. So I buy huge cans of ketchup from Costco and then put it in refillable containers. It is "greener" then buying plastic bottles every time we run out plus I think it looks charming.

And a picture of me many years ago when I ate an marshmallow dipped in ketchup, after Casey's brother dared me. I don't remember it being that bad lol!

  1. I am completely the same way! I used to be so obsessed with ketchup, but I've mellowed out a bit. I ate macaroni and cheese with ketchup even. My cousins used to joke that I put ketchup on ice cream, but that was a lie.

  2. Better than sweet potato fries?! I'll have to try this! But faux wine does not exist in my world -- they will have to be consumed with the real thing!

  4. My new favorite has to be carrot fries. I tried the butternut squash, carrot, and sweet potato all together and the carrot ones just get so nice a crispy! Plus, they're easier to cut.

When changing my diet, I had to mae sure I could somehow incorporate ketchup or it was a no-go!! lol My biggest weakness is Sweet Potato Fries and Heinz!!!lol

  11. I am dying to try these butternut squash fries. I think we eat sweet potato "fries" at least once a week in our house, and the main reason is for the ketchup. Jordyn loves them as long as she can "dip, dip".

    I am going to copy your ketchup storage idea. Super cute!
