This recipe is purely the result of trying to use up some items in the kitchen cabinet. I had a bag of Arborio rice that I had long ago intended to turn into Greek rice pudding, but that never happened. And the sweet potatoes from the CSA are piling up in a bowl on the … Continue reading
On the surface, this recipe is not so different from the other hash/roasted veggie meat combos Tiffany and I have posted in the past. But it really didn’t occur to me to cook the sausage and the veggies in the same pan until I found this recipe: Sausages with Acorn Squash and Onions. This recipe … Continue reading
I didn’t even know this was a thing! In my attempt to find uses for the sweet potatoes that have started rolling in hot and heavy, I found this recipe. It seemed like it would be a yummy and more nutritious alternative to hummus, and it was! I did have to make a couple changes, … Continue reading
I love potato chowder. I jump at the chance to break out anything that resembles chowder when the weather cools off each year. However, I also live in central Texas, so that limits my crisp and cool chowder days to about 6 per year. This year I got tired of waiting for chowder weather. When … Continue reading
Is there anything better than brinner? That’s breakfast-for-dinner for those of you who have never gotten lazy, made scrambled eggs at 6:00, called it “brinner” and acted like it was a fancy treat. It’s a regular feature in our house. This time around, the featured dish was sweet potato pancakes. I love these pancakes. Despite … Continue reading
I was describing to my husband the way I made this chowder – an attempt to use up some sweet potatoes and butternut that had set up long term encampments in the cupboard. I said “well, I used my normal potato chowder. Only I substituted sausage for bacon. And sweet potatoes and squash for regular … Continue reading
I love this recipe. That’s about all I can say about it. We’ve had a bumper crop of sweet potatoes from the CSA this year, and they’ve been piling up on my counter. I finally just threw them all in the oven and roasted them and made this delicious pie. It’s topped with my standard … Continue reading
I continue again on my quest to turn healthy vegetables into junk food. This time…sweet potato doughnuts! Ok, they don’t look like Krispy Kremes. And they don’t taste like it. They’re quite delicious – like cider doughnuts or something. But they are dense. More like a yeast sweet potato roll or something than a light … Continue reading
This recipe for Down-Home Chicken Stew is a delicious, relatively healthy recipe that uses up several fall CSA favorites – turnips, turnip greens, potatoes, and leeks. It takes a few steps, but if you do all your chopping first, you can do them at the same time. I also think it’s a great stew recipe … Continue reading
A couple weeks ago I cooked some butternut and acorn squash in my slow cooker thinking it would be delicious. I cooked it on low for about 3 hours with a sprinkle of brown sugar and about a quarter of a cup of butter (for two squash). Long story short, it wasn’t good. It was … Continue reading
