You Won’t Be Able To Make Enough Of These!

I never ate sweet potatoes growing up with the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even then, they were covered with brown sugar, butter, and of course the layer of marshmallows. You could hardly even put it in the vegetable side dish category. In fact, it almost seemed like a pudding.

Recently I have started making a few things with sweet potatoes and I am loving them. I can’t believe what I have been missing! They are so scrumptious that I almost would rather just eat these for dinner and skip whatever else I had planned to serve with it.

There is a little bit of a difference between sweet potatoes and yams. Some people think they are the same thing, but they are actually from two different plants.

The savory flavor of the rosemary really takes this dish to a new level. And the fact that it is baked into individual servings adds a touch of elegance to your menu.

This is what Kim said about her creative recipe.

My original intent was to create a potato recipe to help with my portion control. Well that didn’t work, I ended up eating three.  Who am I kidding I knew at the first bite they were divine  I have serious issues with sweet potatoes…I just love them!

Quick Tip: If you don’t care for rosemary then try using another herb such as dill or chives. Plus, a few bacon bits sprinkled on top might just make this a winner in my book!

This Side Dish Dresses Up Any Picnic!

I just checked to make sure our gas grill is ready to fire up. The taste of grilled chicken, crusty french bread and a cold side make eating outside extra awesome. Especially when you don’t have to spend a ton of time cooking in the kitchen.

This recipe originally called for frozen spinach but I love being able to toss some fresh spinach into anything for an added wholesome touch.

Being a busy family on the go means having to either have great recipes or having to buy prepackaged foods to take to picnics and get-togethers.

Thankfully, this recipe calls for everything I usually have on hand and is super easy to make the day before. I just put this into a large zip-lock bag to save on space and when it is time to serve, just pull it out of my ice chest or fridge, put into a bowl, add a small handful of extra Parmesan cheese on top and BAM..we are ready to dish up!
