Italian Seasoned Fries (Low Fat)
"One of the great things about making your own fries (in addition to being much less fattening than those you eat out) is that you can tailor them to your preference using herbs and seasonings. Feeling like some garlic fries today? Simply sprinkle them with some garlic, salt (or garlic salt) and a touch of parsley. Add some Parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes and you have these Italian fries. Lake spicy Cajun fries? Hit them up with some Cajun seasoning. Or sprinkle them with some fresh garlic and rosemary and you'll be in for a different treat. The important think to remember is that you need only a touch of olive oil to create the perfect fries.

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
