Food

Since living with Grace I have been playing with a variety of different foods. She and I have worked out a deal where I cook and she buys the groceries. Pretty sweet huh. Well she is also not afraid of letting me try different things and play around in the kitchen. This week we have been playing around with different types of sweet potato recipes. This morning I woke up with an hankering for hash browns... and I thought why not do hash browns with sweet potatoes... Now I have never even made the normal hash browns but hey oil and potato can not be too hard.

I went on line and found some recipes and took part of one and played with my own seasonings. Here is what we came up with.

Grate sweet potatoes and squeeze an orange over the grated potato. Add vanilla and salt to the mix and set aside.

In a pan saute some onions in butter (next time i am going to use olive oil) add brown sugar pepper, ginger, cinnamon, salt, allspice to the mix. mix it until the brown sugar has melted.

Add the sweet potatoes and turn it all around in the mix.

Take out scoops of the sweet potato goodness and add to a skillet and cook on both side until brown.

You can also just add it to a hot skillet (without making balls) and brown it that way too.

It was yum....

We have also been playing around with cooking in wine. We have tried chicken, mushrooms etc. It's been fun cooking for someone. :)
