Mini Purple Sweet Potato Pies with Cheesecake Filling

Posted on February 22, 2025 | Leave a comment

The humble sweet potato is such a versatile root vegetable. A few weeks ago I posted my chipotle sweet potato fries recipe, highlighting my love of sweet potato with spicy chipotle. Today I have mini purple sweet potato pies with cheesecake filling, a delectable treat to represent sweet potato’s dessert side.

This purple sweet potato pie is reminiscent of pumpkin pie, with the exception that it has a deep purple hue. I also love pumpkin cheesecake, so I decided I wanted to add a cheesecake center to these sweet treats. Continue reading →

Chipotle Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Posted on February 1, 2025 | Leave a comment

Chipotle is my favorite flavor to pair with sweet potatoes (I can’t get enough of the sweet/heat combo!). See here, here and here for evidence. Today I have a chipotle baked sweet potato fries recipe to add to the list of evidence.

I riffed this recipe from Love and Lemons where they suggested using cornstarch to crisp up the fries in the oven. It works wonders for sheet pan tofu, so I figured it would work here as well. Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Brownies

Posted on November 9, 2024 | Leave a comment

I was first drawn to make sweet potato brownies because I am still trying to use up my sweet potatoes from last fall’s harvest. Honestly, I cannot think of a better way to enjoy my plethora of sweet potatoes than fudgy brownies.

This recipe was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest that did not link back to a working site, so all I had to work from was the ingredients list and the comments (other recipes I found did not have great reviews). Continue reading →

Roasted Rainbow Vegetables

Posted on April 13, 2024 | Leave a comment

I pack vegetables into my work day lunches every day. Having a side serving of veggies at lunch makes it easy to know that I am getting all the vegetables that I want to have in my diet, regardless of what else gets packed. I have been making these roasted rainbow vegetables all winter long, and they are too pretty not to share!

Honestly, I didn’t even think about sharing this as a recipe at first. It was my husband that said, you should make this into a blog post. Why didn’t I think of that? Continue reading →

Thai Sweet Potato Soup

Posted on March 2, 2024 | Leave a comment

I had a huge sweet potato crop in the garden this fall and I have been loving cooking with sweet potatoes all winter long. Soup season is just about over for me, so you should try this Thai sweet potato soup before spring weather sweeps us off our feet!

I almost always pair sweet potato with a spicy flavor. Sweet and spicy are a perfect match and there are lots of ways to do it with sweet potatoes. Usually I go with chipotle to add heat, but the red curry paste in this soup did a wonderful job as well. Continue reading →

Purple Sweet Potato and Kale Mini Crustless Quiches

Posted on November 18, 2023 | Leave a comment

Friends, it has been a busy fall as usual (busy but good), and I have not been posting as often as I like to. Today I have a great fall recipe for you to try, purple sweet potato and kale mini crustless quiches, and there will be many more recipes coming once winter break has started!

So, more about quiches!

Quiches are supposed to be more custard-like than a fritatta or egg bake because they have more dairy in them. I love adding cottage cheese for a portion of my dairy because it adds a boost of protein. The little chunks also create air pockets when baking, so this recipe will yield a light and fluffy quiche.

Smoky Cabbage Soup

Posted on February 4, 2023 | Leave a comment

First of all, I love green cabbage. It is sweet and crunchy and goes with everything. Second, I love a warming bowl of soup during the winter. Combined, that makes this smoky cabbage soup my new favorite comfort food!

I have read about cabbage soup and kind-of thought it would just be another vegetable soup. Well, not in my kitchen! I amped up the flavors in so many ways because I wanted to make this soup a little different. Continue reading →

Vegetable Barley Soup

Posted on December 23, 2022 | Leave a comment

I am a huge fan of vegetable soups, especially when the weather turns cold. This winter, I wanted to switch things up from my classic vegetable soup, so I made a vegetable barley soup instead!

Basically, I took my classic vegetable soup recipe and merged it with my mushroom barley stew recipe (old, old recipe!). I omitted the corn from the veggie soup and let barley more than take its place. Continue reading →

Sweet Potato Kale Quinoa Bowl

Posted on October 1, 2022 | Leave a comment

Bowl meals come by many names, Buddah bowls, power bowls, nourish bowls, grain bowls, etc., and are just about the easiest thing to make. You just toss everything into a bowl! The ratio of ingredients is what I like best about bowl meals, including this sweet potato kale quinoa bowl.

This bowl is not a kale salad, and it is not a quinoa salad either. It is truely a bowl meal that is balanced with grains and proteins, fresh vegetables and cooked vegetables, as well as crunchy and soft textures. Continue reading →

Chipotle Sweet Potato Hominy Soup

Posted on February 19, 2022 | Leave a comment

Have you ever tried hominy? I have to admit that testing this recipe was my first time cooking with hominy. It has a pleasant nutty flavor and soft, fluffy texture. Try it in this chipotle sweet potato hominy soup to see what I mean!

I loaded this soup up with lots of vegetables to make it hearty and filling, but still light. Sweet potato is the star of this dish, right behind the hominy, and so I added chipotle for a sweet and spicy kick. Continue reading →
