Yummy Sweet Potato Ideas

(c) jefferyw 

I think this could be made nightshade free!

I remember sitting in my Granny and Papa's kitchen and smelling onions, potatoes and okra frying in a skillet. I can still smell the fragrance all these years later.

Today I found something that might just work to create a similar dish to that one that is so familiar, but now inedible.

Ingredients

1 small sweet potato
2 onions
1 package bacon
Salt
Pepper
Minced garlic

Dice a small sweet potato, a couple of onions and add a package of bacon.  Place the diced sweet potatoes in a skillet heated over medium heat. Cook for five minutes. Add the bacon so all that lovely bacony goodness will saturate the potatoes. Add salt, pepper and minced garlic. Cook until the bacon starts to curl and then add the onion. Cook until all ingredients are done.

Variation:

Bake the whole sweet potatoes in an oven. Cook the onions and bacon. Use the bacon and onion mixture as a topping for your sweet potatoes. Add cheese.

I would love to hear your variations on this sweet potato dish. Leave comments below!

Nighshade Free Asian Stir Fry with Bragg Aminos

Cooking nightshade free can be challenging, but tonight I scored big with my newest stir fry. Here is the recipe. It yields a large amount and fed a family of five, three of which are teenagers. I hope you like it. If you create a version you would like to share, please link it to the blog in the comment box, or feel free to share your own recipe.
