Warm Roasted Sweet Potato and Broccoli Rabe Salad with Cinnamon-Maple Vinaigrette {Vegan; Paleo}

November 1, 2016 by Faith 8 Comments

Warm Roasted Sweet Potato and Broccoli Rabe Salad with Cinnamon-Maple Vinaigrette is hearty and satisfying to fill you up on a chilly day.

I love hitting up the produce area of my grocery store to check out new-to-me fruits and veggies, as well as seasonal produce (I wait for things like figs, pomegranate, and delicata squash for months). Sometimes I’ll even go a little crazy and shop without a list, grabbing whatever fresh produce looks good that day and making anything that comes to mind with my loot when I get it home.…

Jerk Roasted Chicken Thighs and Sweet Potato Dinner with Creamy Honey-Jalapeno Sauce {Paleo}

October 28, 2016 by Faith 6 Comments

Switch up your regular chicken dinner routine with this paleo Jamaican-inspired Jerk Roasted Chicken Thighs and Sweet Potato Dinner with Creamy Honey-Jalapeno Sauce. The more I have the chance to spend time in different areas of the country, the more I realize that where you’re from is often depicted in the way you drive. In your car is where things get real. When my sister lived in North Carolina, she told me about what she liked to call Southern charm. She said everyone is sweet as a Georgia peach pie (as in, ohhh, bless her heart) until they get into their car and then it’s no […]...

Sweet Potato Spice Latte {Paleo; Vegan}

November 9, 2015 by Faith 8 Comments

This Sweet Potato Spice Latte recipe uses sweet potato puree instead of pumpkin for a fun twist on a favorite fall drink. Plus, it’s paleo and vegan, adapted from Kathy Hester’s lovely The Easy Vegan Cookbook. If you know me in person you know I’m not really comfortable being in the spotlight. I’m rather shy, actually, at least until I get to know someone. And although I enjoy meeting new people, my happy place really is in the peace and quiet of my own home with the person I love most....

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato, Lentil, and Chicken Sausage Soup with Pumpkin Pie Spices

October 2, 2015 by Faith 14 Comments

This hearty recipe for Slow Cooker Sweet Potato, Lentil, and Chicken Sausage Soup with Pumpkin Pie Spices will have your whole house smelling like fall. So the other morning I hit up the grocery store for a couple things I needed to make this recipe and a couple others. I chatted up a couple employees who I usually see there, and then went on my merry way. I was sidetracked passing through the candle aisle when I happened to notice that the Food Network has a line of candles (how long has this been going on? I feel like I’ve been living under a rock, […]...

Sweet Potato Hash with Paprika Yogurt Sauce

March 7, 2013 by Faith 15 Comments

It’s funny how one word can conjure up 100 different memories. The word “hash” for me triggers childhood memories of a mess of potato, onion, garlic, and meat. The smell of paprika lingering in the air, the sight of fried eggs with bright yellow yolks adorning the top of what would otherwise be a very bland-colored hash. The sounds of birds chirping outside and the rustle of leaves as the wind blew by. We’d be out in the country because for some strange reason, hash was only something we ate when camping, never gracing our kitchen or finding its way to our dining table at […]...

Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Pumpkin Soup Recipe

January 4, 2013 by Faith 14 Comments

This smooth and creamy Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Pumpkin Soup Recipe is the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors with rich, velvety texture. Among the many reasons I adore Wegmans is their soup bar. Their store-bought soups actually taste homemade. Shrimp Bisque, Spicy Tomato with Orzo, Broccoli Cheddar, and Italian Wedding (which is made with beef meatballs instead of pork!), to name a few. And the queen of all delicious soups, their Brown Sugar Pumpkin Bisque....

Curried Coconut Red Lentil Soup {Vegan}

March 1, 2011 by Faith 23 Comments

What feels like forever ago, my German fare-loving friend, The Lady in Red, mentioned a coconut red lentil soup she frequently makes. And I’ve wanted to make my own version ever since. But then my talented friend Lazaro of Lazaro Cooks! did a post where he deconstructed a couple of dishes I made, one of them being my red lentil soup…he added curry, which I thought was a genius touch. And of course since I saw that, I’ve wanted to make a curried red lentil soup. In the end I decided to combine the two ideas into this delicious dish....

Leftover Turkey Dinner Pizza

November 27, 2009 by Faith 24 Comments

Eid Mubarak! I want to wish everyone a very happy Eid al-Adha! I’ve been excited to make this pizza ever since Natasha announced her 5 Star Makeover Challenge to create a dish with Thanksgiving leftovers! For this pizza, you can mix and match any leftovers that you’ve got on hand. I used shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, and green beans, then after baking I topped it with cranberry chutney. If you’ve got sweet potatoes or yams that were cooked in a sauce, just make sure to pat them dry as much as possible so you don’t end up with a watery pizza. Or you […]...
