This Sweet Potato Praline Cake is a combination of our favorite Praline Banana Nut Muffins and heavenly Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown Sugar & Pecans. I debated back and forth on what to name this coffee cake. The cake itself is sweet, yet in a subtle way and oh so moist. The praline topping is amazing. Definitely reminiscent of a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. Continue reading »

Turkey & Sweet Potato Southwest Chili.
My motivation for this dish was to deliver a flavor packed hearty chili (you know…the kind your manly man will eat) but with less calories.

When I was growing up we enjoyed a vast array of appetizers for our Christmas Eve dinner. A tradition that I carried into my adult life. Several years ago we agreed that we all loved our Finger Food Feasts so much that we would carry it over to Christmas Day as well.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries are almost a staple for us. There’s something so addicting about the sweet heat that comes from the sweetness of the potato combined with the Cajun herb seasoning. Any time we’re having burgers or anything else that pairs well with fries, we’ll likely turn to these. Continue reading »

Pork & Sweet Potato Hash with Poached Egg
I love hash. Growing up in New England it wasn’t unusual for us to have Hash and Baked Beans with our eggs for breakfast (or dinner). I’m not really sure if that was common in all households or if it was just that Mom loved them both so much. This Pork & Sweet Potato Hash is a great way to use last night’s leftover pork.
