Spiced Sweet Potatoes

I knew, I had to have a sweet potato dish for Rosh Ha Shana and I wanted to add mango to it.  This recipe from Yummily is perfect for this.  I made it with a few minor changes and added a cut up mango.  The mango adds a sweet tang to the dish.


Spiced Sweet Potatoes


Ingredients:


5 medium large sweet potatoes
1 mango, peeled and cut into chunks
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


Method:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven.
Let stand for another 5 minutes.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise; cut into chunks.
Mix sugar through nutmeg.  Add the mango and sweet potato chunks.
Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
Bake at 350  degrees for 45 minutes.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
