I am sweet on sweet potatoes... how about you? I loved them baked, in soups, fried, and as chips. I can't get enough of them this time of year. Funny, they are a seasonal vegetable, and they are chock full of vitamin A which helps your immune system. I wonder if loading up on this wonderfully orange tuber before flu season helps you fight off colds and flu? They also contain a lot of vitamin C and iron along with fiber... besides that they are so versatile and tasty.

Sweet Potato Chili? Sounds interesting. I'm going to have to try that one.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to eat sweet potatoes is to bake then top with butter, salt, a hint of brown sugar, and a dash of chipotle powder. The dash of chipotle gives it a rich smoky flavor.

I like your simple of making them. But yes, the chili. I have a friend who regularly makes sweet potato chili and raves about it.
DeleteThank you so much for including my Cranberry Sweet Potato Bread in your roundup. There's definitely some delicious ways to use sweet potato shared here - and I'm always looking for new ways to use this super nutritious veggie! Your weekly menu plan sounds great - it's going to be a delicious week at your house :)
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome April. Your unique recipe got me thinking about sweet potatoes. You were my muse.
DeleteI'm so pleased! Thank you for sharing this post with The Gallery as well :)

You are very welcome... a wonderful recipe.
DeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteI love sweet potatoes too, and this time of year I try to include them in as many recipes as possible. You posted some interesting ideas in your round up which I look forward to trying. Thanks so much for including my sweet potato chili.. Have a great week, and see you on Friday.
Folks, are very excited about your chili, myself included.
DeleteThanks for the feature!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Mal.
DeleteThat curried sweet potato soup looks good. I made a curried pumpkin stew a week ago that turned out well. We plan to buy sweet potatoes soon so thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the idea of curry with sweet potato. I think it's a natural fit.
DeleteI would love to start making quinoa as a side dish here. It's so yummy and healthy for you!
ReplyDeleteI make it very simple with butter and water or chicken stock. Sometimes I saute some scallions.
DeleteWhat a nice way using all the sweet potatoes. My favourite is sweet soup with sweet potatoes.
ReplyDeleteKristy
How do you make the soup sweet? Honey?
DeleteWe just had sweet potato pie last night. I think that sweet potato lemon poppyseed bread looks so good, but the combination seems very interesting.
ReplyDeleteSweet potato pie is such a classic... I've never made it. HMmmm...
DeleteNom, nom, nom. These all look so good! I am the same way about Butternut squash ("Hi, my name is Claire and I might love Butternut Squash too much"). I have some recipes coming up featuring just that. And Pierogis have been a holiday tradition since I was little so they are a staple around here during the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the yummy inspiration (again!). Making your stroganoff this week, btw! :)

I have a mild addiction to pumpkins. It isn't even Thanksgiving yet and my family may be overdosed on: pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cake, pumpkin pudding... etc...
DeleteHope you enjoy the stroganoff it was a big hit with my whole family.
All sweet potato recipes look yummy, specially loved the sweet potato lemon bread.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of sweet potato recipes! I'm with Ambreen - I specifically love the sweet potato lemon bread!
ReplyDeleteGlad you both like them.
DeleteThank you for the wonderful supply of sweet potato recipes, Diane. I also am sweet on those ugly little tubers. They are great for lunch or dinner, I just throw one or two in the oven, done. In fact today I am having a sweet potato with feta, sundried tomatoes and oily black olives for lunch. Obviously, thinking of Idaho and Provence!!!! Oh, Diane, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know many of those in your region are questioning what there is to give thanks for this year but Americans do bounce back. We just do.
ReplyDeleteNew Yorkers pride themselves on being tough and folks from New Jeresy have to be tougher because they don't want to be out done by the New Yorkers... we will carry on. The support from the rest of the country has been wonderful too.
Deletei honestly haven't had my fair share of sweet potatoes this season. i need to get on it.
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing your post with us at the Wednesday Fresh Foods Link Up! i look forward to seeing what other seasonal & whole/real food posts you have for us this week! xo, kristy
