Thanks for signing in today. The holidays are here! yay!...this is the time for foodies like me and you to play and be merry in the kitchen. Ive been having so much fun going to the farmers market in union square and perusing all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables. And dont forget about WholeFoods. Woweeee!!! Oh how do I love WholeFoods! What a wonderfull store. I could get lost in there for hours.
The holidays are my favorite time of year because it's just another excuse for me to try new dishes and add new things to my repertoire. For me cooking is like Meditation. Its just me and the food. It takes concentration, preparation and execution. Then to see a wonderfull finished product that others can enjoy is really what its all about for me. So I'm going to take you through the latest things that Ive been experimenting with in the kitchen.
Now is the time for sweet potatoes and the traditional flavor profiles that go long with it...Maple, vanilla, cinnmon, mace and cloves. What would the holidays be without a delicious sweet potato pie. Its one of those things that you either really love, or really hate...and I love all things sweet potato.Last week I made my sweet potato pie with a carmelized brown sugar top. I wish I can say I am so inventive and original, but every recipe comes from somewhere and after trying different varitions of this pie, I finally found one that I liked, and of course with a few additions, made it my own.. I must admit, since I do not have a food processor, I have not attempted to make my own crust. (i know your probably in shock that I dont have a food processor)
So I have always relied on a frozen crust, which Im not ashamed of. Ive always been tempted to make a crust out of cookie crumbs and butter, but for me it just doesnt go with this pie. So I pay homeage to Mrs.Smith lol...and until I get my food processor, that is what I will be using.
I hope you try this recipe and enjoy!
If you dont feel like making this yourself, I have a website and my baked goods and other dishes are available for purchase during the Holiday season. Check out my menu at
