Sweet Potato Scones
My dad’s a man who loves his desserts! He was describing some sweet potato biscuits he purchased at a local bakery, with the hopes that I could come up with something similar. Ever one to rise to a challenge, I set to work creating this recipe. Okay, okay, I confess. I didn’t start immediately. I had a general idea of the direction I was going to go, then…I forgot all about it. Until now. Sorry, dad! Better late than never?

Ham Hash
I rarely eat a substantial breakfast during the week. I’m too rushed to do more than reheat a frozen waffle (I’ll have that recipe posted soon!) or, in a pinch, grab a granola bar on my way out the door. So, when the weekend comes I like to do something special. If I have leftover ham, this hash is on the menu. It can also be made with corned beef instead of ham, but I can’t stand corned beef. It’s also good if you use bacon. Try to get slab bacon, or at least thick cut. Trim off most … Continue reading
Roasted Red Potatoes
This isn’t so much a recipe as a method of preparing potatoes, so I’ve been reluctant to post it until now. I make them quite often, and they’re always a big hit. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with brown pieces of onion here and there…my mom thinks they are very post-worthy, and how am I to argue with that? So, at her request, here it is. Use a deep dish, heavy-bottomed baking pan. If you want to do these on the grill, make sure it is flame proof. I use an enamel coated cast iron pan for … Continue reading

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Lime Cilantro Vinaigrette
I found this recipe in the July 2002 issue of Gourmet magazine. The combination of flavors and color in this dish is fantastic! It’s the perfect summer side dish for grilled steak. Make sure you use a sharp knife for peeling and NOT a vegetable peeler. Otherwise, you’ll end up making a mess of the potatoes. They’ll still taste good, but they’ll look terrible. Ingredients: 2 lbs. sweet potatoes (about 4, preferably long) 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice ¾ teaspoon kosher salt ? teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup olive oil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro Directions: Cover potatoes with cold … Continue reading

Meat Cake
By now many of you have seen the Meat Cake made famous by Black Widow Bakery. If you haven’t seen it yet, you must check it out. I admit my first reaction was less than flattering, but I was so impressed with her creativity! I showed my fiancé the site, thinking he’d find it as humorous as I did. You know, just another one of those jokes going around the Internet. Much to my dismay, his immediate response was, “When are you making me a meat cake?” I dragged my feet for a while, but eventually I broke down and … Continue reading
