Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Cheese Fries

Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Cheese Fries

I have a really weird 2 year old. Don’t get me wrong, she’s the bee’s knees and the absolute love of my life. Her opinions are very unexpected for a 2 year old- especially on the subjects like these buffalo chicken sweet potato cheese fries. But she definitely marches to the beat of her own 2 year old drum so I shouldn’t be surprised.

Goose knows what she wants, when she wants it. She has opinions that are all her own, and definitely not like opinions you would expect a 2 year old to have. In my circle of mom friends, Goose has earned her reputation as spirited and opinionated. Side note: I’ve decided spirited is the polite way of saying stubborn and opinionated.

I guess she takes after me. I really hoped she’d get my husband’s easy going, good nature. Nope. Instead she’s a loud mouth like her mama.

And just like her mama, her likes and dislikes almost always surprise others. For example, those that know me and just how casual I am can’t believe that my kid is a fashionista. No lie, every morning for the last month or so, Goose wakes up and asks for her jewelry. The kid wears so many beads and bracelets she looks like she just came back from a Mardi Gras party pretty much 24/7. She definitely didn’t get that from me. I live my life in pajamas and dress up like 3 times a year. I don’t remember the last time I wore a lot of jewelry.

Well, except for now. Goose insists Mama put on bracelets and necklaces too. I do means INSISTS. Not strongly suggests or hints.

And the night we made these buffalo chicken sweet potato cheese fries, she insisted that she eat them. We weren’t keen on her having them because of the copious amounts of hot sauce involved. Keep in mind, Parmesan cheese and chocolate milk are pretty much the only two things keeping my child alive because she is in that picky phase.

And in general, just like I don’t mix well with high heels and real clothing, toddlers and hot sauce don’t mix well.

But that’s just in general. There’s always an exception to the rule and my kid is it. We put a tiny little bit of hot sauce on her plate before letting her taste the fries. She dipped her finger in and tasted it. Then she looked at us with a big smile on her face and said, “MMMMMM it’s good. I wub it.”

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. She did really love our grilled buffalo wings. But that was before the picky phase really took hold. She also ate parts of the healthy loaded sweet potato fries we made a few weeks ago. And, honestly, what’s not to love about this combo? You have got slight sweetness from the sweet potato, spicy from the buffalo chicken, and cheese. So much cheese.

Perfection. Cheesy, spicy perfection. In fry form.
