DIY EATS | Sweet Potato Fries + Chipotle mayo & Spicy Siracha Ketchup

DIY PROJECT, Eats DIY

Although my sister and I thought we were synchronized swimming stars when we were younger, sadly we never made it to the Olympic Gamess. So instead, we get to enjoy the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, snacking on homemade sweet potato fries and sipping ice-cold Coca-Colas…sounds like a #ThatGold moment to me! Coca-Cola has been a worldwide sponsor of the Olympic Movement for more than 80 years and this year, they are shining a light on the very things the Olympic Games inspire by celebrating the happy and humorous moments that go beyond the podium.

If you read yesterday’s post, you’ll know that cooking with my sister is my #ThatsGold moment. And if you have been following for awhile, you know that DIY in the kitchen is a bit out of my wheelhouse! With that, my sister went simple and taught me how to make Sweet Potato Fries with a couple accompanying dips. Honestly, I am all about the small achievements in life, because I have successfully made these quite a few times now. That sound like reason enough to celebrate for me! So today is your lucky day, because if you want to enjoy your snack in the most decadent way possible, we are giving away one #ThatsGold Coca-Cola bottle. It’s beautiful, one-of-a-kind and completely covered in gold crystals. To enter, share your #ThatsGold moment with me and @CocaCola on social media with the tag #ThatsGold and #ispydiy. We will DM the winner at the end of the week, and hope to keep inspiring everyday moments turned gold!
