I don’t know why I don’t use sweet potatoes more than I do. I love them but I usually just grab a bag of potatoes at the grocery store and totally forget about sweet potatoes. They are so versatile – bake, mashed, fried, or to what you can put on them. These were meant to…

Revisited: Sweet Potato and Corned Beef Hash
Day 33 – Our electric bill has gone up. At first we were a bit shocked then we took a look around. All our computers, phones, dishwasher, washer, and dryer seem to be on all the time. I guess with how little we are spending in gas, which is now down to $1.40 a gallon, it…
Hasselback Maple Sweet Potatoes
We had these potatoes with a roasted turkey dinner. They were amazing! My family usually uses a ton of butter, brown sugar, and candied pecans on their sweet potatoes. This time they had so much flavor they were not asking for more butter or more brown sugar. Verdict: The entire family loved these. They decided…
Savory Sweet Potatoes
I have started trying to find new sides for Thanksgiving (and other days of the year!). As many of you may know we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving Day as my daughter has MidWest Oireachtas (regionals) for Irish dance the day after Thanksgiving each year. So, we are traveling on that day. This year the…
Sweet Potato Corned Beef Hash
For me breakfast for dinner means a super simple meal. I love sweet potato hash but it always seems so difficult to make. It’s not. It is all in my head. I still had 3 corned beef stashed in my freezer from St. Patrick’s Day so I pulled one out the other day and cooked…
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Glaze
This was another of the dishes that I made for my mother while we were there. I have decided that I need to try and make at least one dish a week that will help her with ideas for eating on her Mediterranean diet. They may not be purely foods from her diet but at…
Sweet Potato and White Potato Gratin – Thank You ALL!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I hit my 500th follower yesterday! It took 2 1/2 years for me to get to 300 followers (I really don’t count my first year of blogging) and only 3-4 more months to get to 500. Thanks to HarsH ReaLiTy and Dream Big, Dream Often (click for links to these blogs)…
Slow Cooker Beef Stew made with Balsamic Vinegar and Sweet Potatoes
As I look at the thermometer and see it is only 29 degrees but feels like 19 degrees I am already thinking about what warm, comforting foods I can make for dinner tonight. As the days get colder my slow cooker is going to be getting a good workout. I started this recipe by perusing…
Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Even in summer I love my slow cooker. I am still trying to use it at least 2-3 days a week to avoid having to think too much about dinner. I met several people at The Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Chicago last week who when I told them about my blog gave me…
Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken
Ever have one of those days? Well, this is it for me. After dance class last night I came home and we had dinner, helped the kids with their homework, took a ride down by the beach to watch the sunset. It was a really great evening. This morning I get up and can’t find…
Slow Cooker Sweet and Savory Boneless Pork Chops Meal
Last night I needed a meal that would be ready after my son’s musical program at school. I knew we would not have enough time for a real meal beforehand so I wanted it to be ready at 6:30 pm. I just wanted to add a salad and be ready to sit at the table…
Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Steak
I am in love with sweet potatoes right now. My kids are okay with them. As long as I keep cooking them I think they will start to get used to the taste. I remember when they were little the doctor telling us to have them try food up to ten different times before thinking…
