+# Oats
+
+Oats are great for breakfast. On their own they're pretty bland, but become
+great when you add some things to the bowl. This recipe offers some suggestions
+on what to add, but is by no means a comprehensive overview of what you can do
+with oats.
+
+We cover both rolled and steel cut oats. Instant need not apply.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- oats
+- water
+- pinch of salt
+
+Pick and choose additional ingredients:
+
+- chopped banana
+- any berries
+- cinnamon
+- peanut butter
+
+## Directions
+
+1. Bring water (with pinch of salt) to boil.
+2. Add oats. Use a 2:1 water-to-oats ratio (by volume) for rolled oats, 3:1 for
+   steel cut.
+3. Boil on medium heat until most of the water has been absorbed/evaporated.
+   Rolled oats will be ready quicker than steel cut.
+4. Pour over fruit in bowl (if having fruit).
+5. Sprinkle cinnamon (if having cinnamon).
+6. Mix.
+7. Add a spoonful of peanut butter (if having peanut butter).
+
+## Serving sizes
+
+You'll need less dry steel cut oats versus rolled oats for the same serving
+size. My personal "standard serving" is 1/3 cup steel cut or 1/2 cup rolled
+(note that, per the ratios above, both of these end up needing 1 cup water).

+# Basic Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
+
+![cooked sweet pototo fries in pan](pix/sweet-potato-fries.webp)
+
+A simple, tasty, and healthy carb based snack.
+
+## Ingredients
+
+* 1-2 Sweet Pototoes (try different types)
+* Olive Oil
+* Cinnamon
+* Rosemary (optional)
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Set oven heat to 425°F.
+2. Grab a pan and put a layer of parchment paper (or aluminum foil) on it.
+3. Chop the potato(es) on your cutting board with a sharp knife throwing them onto the pan.
+4. Drizzle the fries with olive oil. Toss the fries with clean hands to coat the fries in olive oil. Now wash your hands with soap to remove excess olive oil.
+5. Top generously with cinnamon and salt. Pepper and/or rosemary may be added for additional flavor if desired.
+6. Put in preheated oven. Setting timer for 20 minutes.
+7. At 20 minutes, flip the fries. Rubber tongs make it easy to grab and turn a lot.
+8. Return to oven setting timer for another 10-20 minutes depending on quality of the oven and desired crispiness.
+9. Enjoy. Maybe them put in a glass bowl.
+
+## Notes
+
+* A fast method to cut the the sweet pototoes is first into fourths, slice the fourths, chops the sliced layers while stacked into fries.
+* If you want to experiment with a variety of fats, consider combining the olive oil with grass-fed butter and coconut oil. I believe the issue with coconut oil is it likes being cooked at lower temperatures or else the health quality of the oil will degrade.
