First up, let’s talk about the problem: Why do sweet potato fries get so soggy in the oven?

What do I need for your mixed berry smoothie recipe?

• Frozen bananas. The banana will up the fruity flavor, while also adding sweetness and creaminess.
• Frozen berries. You can use whatever frozen berries that make you happy—strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or a mix! If you head to the frozen fruit section at your local grocery store, you’ll probably spy a few bags of mixed berries. These are my favorite for this smoothie!
• Milk. Any kind of milk will work—cow’s milk, soy milk, coconut milk, unsweetened almond milk. Whatever you have!
• Plain Greek yogurt. Not only does yogurt make the smoothie even creamier, but it also gives it a boost of protein, so you aren’t hungry again 30 minutes after finishing your drink.
• Honey or maple syrup. You may or may not need this one, depending on how ripe your banana is.

How do you make ice cream in a mason jar?

1. Grab a Ball® Wide Mouth Pint Jar with a two piece lid.
2. Pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream into the jar.
3. Add in sugar, vanilla extract, and a hefty pinch of salt.
4. Twist the lid closed tightly, and shake! This is the part that's really fun to get the kids involved with. You want to shake, shake, shake until the mixture has about doubled in volume and is about the thickness of pancake or brownie batter. It should take about 5 minutes.
5. Pop the whole jar in the freezer. Try to remember to shake the jar every 30 minutes or so, but if you don't, it's no big deal.
6. Come back to your jar in 2-3 hours, and you'll have delicious, silky ice cream ready to enjoy with your favorite chocolate sauce, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and other toppings!
