Ideas for my sweet potato

Mary Beth, Thankyou so much for posting your sweet potato and chicken recipe. After a year avoiding chicken, I wanted to reintroduce it. Your recipe met all of my dietary criteria and was DELICIOUS. I substituted boneless, skinless chicken thighs and loved every bite. I really missed chicken. I'm hoping I can keep it an enjoy this recipe again.

Thank you for sharing!!

I buy about 10 sweet potatoes at a time and cook them outside on the gas grill as I don't like to use my oven when it is 110 outside. When done, I take the inside out and put it into a large kettle. I add coconut milk and cinnamon and whip it up with my stick blender until smooth and creamy. Then I freeze it in cream cheese containers. (I must have about 30 of these containers and they are nice for freezing my vegetables) One container is enough for two meals. I do the same with squash.

I recently tried a Kabocha squash from a farmers market and it was delicious. Very sweet. I am keeping my eyes open for them and will buy several when I see them at the store.

Thanks for all the great ways to prepare sweet potatoes.

Good to see MB and WW posting.

This thread just made me wonder if avoiding what DogtorJ calls secondary glutenization (eating meat that has been fed one of the big 4) will someday let me eat chicken again.

Hi WW,

Great idea on grilling sweet potatoes! I had no idea that could be done. I'm going to use your grilling technique as one of my MC hurricane survival tools.

I'm not crazy about the "sweetness" in sweet potatoes so my favorite way is niece Kara's preparation. Kara learned this from her Italian nanny when her Mom worked as a secretary for the state department in Milan Italy.
Kara boils the sweet potatoes in their jackets. In a small saute pan melt either coconut oil, ghee or olive oil on low heat. Add generous amount of dried rosemary. (Thyme would also work or any other savory herb.)
Infuse the herbs on low heat for awhile. Take sweet potato out of jacket (it will be mashed consisitency) add to herb/fat in saute pan, add salt and pepper, add small amount of lemon zest. Stir and blend together.
This is incredibly good with rosemary.

If you don't like the sweetness of sweet potato, make sure you buy the white ones and not the ones that are yams. Sounds yummy!
