  • Sweet Potato & Chorizo Plate w/ Vegan Nacho Sauce

    Meet my new favorite dish.  I. am. in. love.  So many of my favorite things here!  Sweet potatoes, soy chorizo, avocadoes, some spicy goodness, and melty vegan cheddar.  But this sauce.  GAH!  It’s incredible.  This was one of those risky recipes, where a total and utter flop would not have surprised me.  I took my…

  • Brown Sugar & Spice Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    Quickie post with my sweet potato recipe from my friends Thanksgiving.  Simple and yummy! I really wanted to make sage-spiced sweet potato rounds, but couldn’t find ground sage! So frustrating.  So at the last minute, I just threw a few things in a bowl and tossed the potatoes up.  Turned out wonderful. 

  • Apple Pie Sweet Potato Breakfast

    I had such a fun Saturday morning breakfast this weekend!  I was really tempted to eat a slice of apple pie for breakfast.  But sometimes I just want to cook.  Okay, a lot of the time.  So I made myself a pie-reminiscent breakfast.  But with a bit more nutrition too 🙂  I baked a sweet…

  • Sweet Potato & Soy Chorizo Empanadas

    Happy National Empanada Day! It’s been WAY too long since I did a post for one of these super-authentic and totally-not-made-up holidays 😉 So that time has arrived. So have the empanadas!

  • Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes

      I have a new obsession.  I already posted it, but the obsession has grown exponentially since that day.  Earth Balance + chipotles in adobo.  Sooooo good. I first used it on the buttery chipotle crostini I made to go with my split pea soup!  Remember that?  No?  Well, it was delicious.  Look into it.…

  • Black Bean, Sweet Potato & Soy Chorizo Soup

    Good day!  I hope everyone had a happy holiday!  My holiday was a bit unconventional with my new niece and my sister still in the hospital.  But Christmas at the hospital turned out well!  I got to hold Molly for the first time Christmas Eve.  🙂

  • Sweet Potato Chorizo Cakes w/ Mango-Avocado Salsa

    My love of soy chorizo emerges again!   I thought about making an entire chorizo patty.  But that seemed a bit excessive.  So I made sweet potato cakes with plenty of soy chorizo running through them!

  • Sage Mango Sweet Potato Hash

      Awhile ago, in my Amador County Wine Tasting post, I showed off a gigantic yam that I used for a favorite sage sweet potato hash (yes, a yam for a sweet potato hash.  You can use either.  I’m using a yam, but this is from a recipe for sweet potatoes, so I’m still calling…

  • Sweet Wasabi Yam & Avocado Salad

      Here’s a restaurant-favorite remake.  And another short-ingredients-list-recipe.   This amazing sushi place near me makes a delicious little salad with fresh tuna, avocado, and a mild and sweet wasabi dressing.  I thought really hard about what to use to replace the tuna, and kept mentally rejecting things that would be a pretty decent taste…

  • Sweet Potato Chipotle Soup w/ Avocado Cream

    I keep forgetting how delicious, easy, and healthy a simple vegetable soup can be.  Hopefully you’ll be seeing a lot more yummy soups from me, because they’re awesome.   I especially love a veggie soup that is really healthy but tastes creamy and rich.  That’s what this soup is.  It’s creamy, comforting, but also a bit…
