Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew

If you have been looking for a new winter stew to warm you up, this should be added to your menu! Spring is around the corner but while most of the country has experienced some beautiful weather, it IS just February. Snow, cold, sub-zero temps, ice storms, chilly wind, and slushy-sloshy weather…

Roasted Fall Vegetables-Two Ways!

Brace yourselves. I have news. There is a misconception that great produce is not available once summer is over. *gasp* I know. Shocking. Obviously, since you all go to pumpkin patches and apple orchards in September and October, you know that this cannot entirely be the case. Autumn is a favorite time…

Mashed Sweet Potatoes W/Orange

Greetings friends!  Just stopping in quick during my vacation to post one of my favorite summer side dishes. Seeing as how I now live in the south on the east coast, you would think that sweet potatoes would be everywhere, right?  At least that is what I expected.  Remember that friend I…

Baked Sweet Potatoes W/Apples & Onions

This recipe absolutely falls into the category of ‘Things I make without thinking about and therefore never post on the blog’.  I have been making it so long and without any type of recipe that I never give it a second thought!  And then someone asks me about it, assuming they can…

Simple Beef Stew

The weather here has finally turned a bit chilly (woohoo!) so comfort food is what I’m all about. I am sitting on my couch as I type this and Eli, my four year old, is sitting at my feet and going through the ToysRUs catalog that came in the mail today.  He…

Sweet Potato Fries & Pepper Lime Mayo

I love love love sharing recipes like this with you. I love them because they take something as simple and humble as baked sticks of sweet potatoes and elevates them to a side dish or snack that you remember.  Like the difference between wearing a little black dress on a date with…

Sweet Potato Hash

I made this for dinner last night and my husband was very upset with me.  Not because we had Sweet Potato Hash for dinner, but because I was making it while he was on the treadmill. He came up from the basement, panting and sweaty, with a scowl on his face.  “Are…

Sweet Potato Salad W/Vinaigrette

Have you ever made a minor change in something in your life and then thought, why didn’t I do this before?  Like switching from vegetable oil to canola oil.  Or growing a garden.  Or ditching the use of lip liner. That is what this recipe was for me.  I had cut out…

Roasted Sweet Potato Fries

Ah.  Sweet potatoes.  That vitamin packed veggie that can be sweet or savory and seems to be the favorite of babies everywhere.  They also happen to be a major player at our house.  I have mentioned these before, but thought I would give them their own post.  These ‘fries’ are simple and go with…

Sweet Potato Casserole & Thanksgiving Prep

Sweet Potato Casserole is the recipe for today’s post, but first, a few words about Thanksgiving! If you don’t know this already-and that would only be if you don’t actually read this blog and instead only look at the recipes because I have mentioned this several times before so it should not be…

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

It is fall. I know! I know!  The 80 degree weather out your door (depending on where you live) is desperately trying to convince you otherwise, but it is upon us and I love it!  And when certain vegetables are in season, we like to cook things that are orange.  Pumpkins, squash,…

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Mmmmm sweet potatoes.  How do I love thee? Many ways.  And I hope that all of you do too!  I have discovered that there are really two kinds of people out there.  Those who ate sweet potatoes growing up and those who didn’t.  I, you may be surprised to learn, did not…
