Oven-Caramelized Sweet Potatoes

November 6, 2012

My consumption of sweet potatoes goes up ten-fold in the colder months. I just find them so comforting, and so versatile from a cooking perspective.

Creamy butternut squash tofu curry

This was another recipe I came up with for the CNE certification program I’ve been doing. It was my attempt at making a recipe that would be ideal for a pregnant woman (that’s not a hint at anything- just my topic of choice for the project!) while using seasonal ingredients and inventing a new, different [...]
