Cooking up artistically delicious family-friendly dishes from my Kudos Kitchen to yours!
I had chicken breasts in the freezer, apple cider in the fridge, a half a box of gingersnaps left in the pantry, a few sweet potatoes that I needed to use before they went bad, and friends coming for dinner.
The result was this Apple Cider Braised Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Gingersnaps. This dinner FAR surpassed my expectations, and was a massive hit with our guests! Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner!!
I’m updating this recipe for Old-Fashioned Grated Sweet Potato Pudding which I originally posted back in October of 2011. I’ve added new photos, a fun, and fast-paced video, plus a printable recipe card for your ease of use, and enjoyment.
You may say to yourself after reading the ingredient list “Hey!” “What in the world is ground cinnamon and cocoa powder doing in a savory recipe like this?” “And what about the butter and lime juice?” “She has really gone off the deep end with this recipe!” “Has Renee lost her mind?!!”
And my answer would be…Well. Maybe. But not about this recipe.
I found the recipe for sweet potato cookies in a small Amish pamphlet cookbook while visiting the gift shop in the St. Louis capital building around this same time last year. I tweaked the recipe only slightly here and there. I omitted the nuts, substituted allspice for ground cloves, and increased the brown sugar by half.
With one slow cooker recipe, two vegetarian options, one Tex-Mex option, and one dinner with an Asian flair, I’d say the Thrive At Five weekly meal planning group has you well covered for dinner suggestions for this, the third week of July!
I’ve made mashed tropical sweet potatoes before but have never added them back into their shells. I’m not sure why it took me so long to do it, because these Twice Baked Sweet Potato Boats with a Tropical Touch are a fun way to feast your eyes, as well as your taste buds!
This One Pan Ponzu Pork Chop Dinner is a sure-fire family pleaser which takes only minutes to prepare. You’ll only need a vegetable peeler and chef’s knife to prepare and slice the apples, onions, and sweet potatoes. Then the majority of the work is done by the oven while you go relax for 40 minutes until dinner is wonderfully caramelized and ready to serve. Easy peasy, pork chop pleasy! 🙂
With the popularity of sheet pan dinners going through the roof, I wanted to bring you a recipe that would utilize some of autumn’s best-tasting vegetables and flavors, along with the always popular, moist and meaty, boneless and skinless chicken thigh. The result is this Easy Maple Mustard Chicken Thigh Sheet Pan Supper.
These Better Bourbon Baked Sweet Potatoes will knock your socks off. Literally. Even if you don’t think you’re a fan of sweet potatoes, I urge you to try these. They’re not overly sweet like some sweet potato dishes are, and they’re nicely balanced between sweet and savory.
Fall’s bounty of flavors and colors shine brightly in this delicious and easy dish of Sweet Savory Roasted Sweet Potatoes […]
