Rachel Rinehardt: Being the middle child means mastering the art of negotiation — like how to secure the last cookie or claim the coveted window seat on family road trips. But I wouldn’t trade my spot as the middle child for anything. My most cherished memory is from my wedding day, walking down the aisle knowing that right beside me, as always, were my incredible siblings, Aaron and Hannah. Happy National Siblings Day to the two best partners-in-crime a girl could ever ask for!
Andrea’s Secret to the Best Baked Sweet Potatoes
A couple of years ago while I was visiting Andrea, she taught me this trick for baking sweet potatoes. We have been making this recipe at least once a week ever since! The secret is to start the potatoes in a cold oven. You can use any type of sweet potato or yam for this recipe. White sweet potatoes and Japanese sweet potatoes are not as sweet as traditional sweet potatoes or garnet yams, but we prefer them for that reason.
Melanie Fahey: My brother, Scott, has been a source of information, guidance, and support for as long as I can remember. He is always ready to offer advice or lend a hand, and his wisdom and humor are unmatched. I can’t imagine how I would have ever gotten through life’s challenges without such an awesome big brother!
DIRECTIONS 1. Scrub any dirt or debris off the potatoes.
2. Carefully use a large sharp knife to cut the potatoes in half. 3. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan. This will keep cleanup quick and easy for you. 4. Drizzle the halved potatoes with olive oil. 5. Sprinkle sea salt over each potato half (optional) 6. Flip the potato halves so the sweet potato is flesh side down. 7. Place the potatoes in a cold oven. Turn the oven on to bake at 400 F in the center rack of the oven. Once the oven is up to temperature, continue baking for approximately 30 minutes until the sweet potatoes are brown and caramelized on the top of the flesh and soft throughout the potato. Enjoy the potatoes warm — you can add a tablespoon of butter and/or sprinkle with cinnamon, but they are equally delicious as is!
Carrie Byus: I have the most amazing sisters! My parents had four girls and we were blessed to get along well throughout childhood and now all live within five minutes of each other. Mom would dress us alike and even make our clothes at times. My sisters are all entrepreneurs and I couldn’t be more proud of them. Not only for their creative minds, business sense, and work ethic but also because of their love for God and family! There have been rough times throughout our lives, but one thing remains: We are always there for each other … no matter what!
