Have you tried baked sweet potatoes?
You prepare them exactly like regular sweet potatoes and you can either top them with butter or sugar and cinnamon. They are very good and I heard they are healthier too?
How to keep baked potatoes hot out of the oven?
Our church is having a potluck Februrary 21 where the men prepare the main dishes . DH had decided to bring baked potatoes with all the toppings . He will probably bake about 40 potatoes . How can they be kept hot ? I thought of lining a roasting pan with towels & covering it with its lid . Any suggestions?
baked potatoes to church
Wash and cut in half each potato. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake. Leave the foil on. They will stay hot about 2-3 hours out of the oven. I have used this recipe for 100 people. Put the toppings on ice! It is always a hit!
we are having meatloaf and baked potatoes and spaghetti squash. nm

Meatloaf, baked potatoes, cukes and tomatoes out of the garden. (sm)
Maybe if I get finished with taking the grandkids to their extra-curricular activities early enough I will bake a cake. Been hungry for chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting.
I made baked sweet potatoes for dinner last night
You cook them just like a baked potato. My 10 y/o daughter and I just like butter on ours. I love sweet potatoes though! I also have a really good recipe with apples and sweet potatoes in a casserole (see below). I brought it for Thanksgiving dinner last year and it was a hit! It's more tart than sweet and really delicious!
Apple-Sweet Potato Bake
3 pounds sweet potatoes
4 medium tart apples, peeled
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1. Scrub sweet potatoes with a veggie brush under cold water. Pierce skin in several places; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until almost tender (I bake them a little longer cuz I like them pretty mushy). Cool slightly; peel potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
2. Cut the apples into 1/4 inch slices; toss with lemon juice. In a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking dish, alternately arrang sweet potato and apple slices. Sprinkle with pecans.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; pour over potatoes and apples. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
Here's another recipe I make sometimes. It's called "Heavenly Sweet Potatoes" by Campbell's Soup.
Vegetable cooking spray
1 can (40 oz) cut sweet potato, drained
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 ground ginger
3/4 cup Swanson Chicken Broth
2 cups miniature marshmallows
Spray a 1-1/2 quart casserole with cooking spray. Set the dish aside.
Place the potatoes, cinnamon and ginger in a 3-quart bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the potatoes are fluffy and almost smooth. Add the broth and beat until the ingredients are mixed. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared dish. Top with the marshmallows.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until hot and marshmallows are golden brown.
A great veggie dip...
1 can Red Gold Petite Mexican Fiesta Tomatoes (drained)
1 16-oz. sour cream
1 pkg. Knorr Spring Vegetable soup mix (dry)
Mix all together and chill.
Good with chips, veggies, and even to dip those wings!
For anyone new at veggie gardening,
let me just say that tomatoes are the trickiest to grow. I believe cherry tomatoes are easier than the big kind.
Green beans: If you have heard of pole beans and bush beans and wondered what the difference is, it's not be beans but the growth habit. Bush beans grow lower to the ground and pole beans climb up something. Pole beans are nice if you don't want to have to bend over as much during harvesting. For the lazy gardener, you can even let pole beans grow up corn you are growing in the same space.
I learned these tips from watching Paul James' show, Gardening by the Yard.
Veggie burgers
Boca veggie burgers are really delicious spread with a little pesto sauce, topped with tomato slices and red onion. Also you can try Googling Bethenny Frankel - I believe she has some great vegetarian recipes that are quick and easy.
I may try a veggie garden this year too.
in the past i have not had time to keep up with one but i think i will this year while working at home for MQ. maybe you have tried everything for your garden eaters, don't know but I have heard you can sprinkle black pepper all over the garden and it will keep a lot of animals out bc they do not like the smell. you have to reapply with rain but it might be worth a try.
i normally have flowers galore! but i may do some veggies this year as you said they are getting SO expensive in the stores. i have had great luck with barrel gardens in the past and they look really nice on a patio.
set out a premade veggie tray with dip, can buy
in almost any grocery store already made up. Want something fancy, take it out of the plastic container and put it on your own tray. This should satisfy most everyone. Most all kids will even eat carrot sticks.
I have a big canner of veggie soup cooking
and it smells yummy. Tonight is a parade in town and dinner at my parent's. Not sure about tomorrow. Church and then who knows. I have 2 movies to watch from Netflix and a newsletter to get ready to mail.

I'm getting ready to make a boxed cake mix, but I'm out of veggie oil
Can I substitute melted margarine for the oil? I don't have any applesauce. I do have some Miracle Whip, but wasn't sure about it. I don't want to go to the grocery store. I'm at home alone, kids are gone, I'm working and feeling pretty productive, and then BAM the PMS chocolate attack strikes and and me without a Hershey bar in sight! So I thought I would whip up a devil's food cake mix and get back to work.
I put the egg and cheese in a whole wheat or veggie wrap with some cooked spinach

Green bean casserole - need a soft veggie dish!
raw potatoes
If I remember correctly, put raw potatoes in the gravy and leave for 15 or 20 minutes or so. The potatoes will absorb some of the salt. Good luck!
Don't know about cats. What about adding mayo or plain veggie oil to their food? Or butter? nm

Sweet Potatoes
I have never been able to stomach sweet potatoes because every recipe I've sampled has been way too sweet. Canned sweet potatoes smothered in maple syrup or brown sugar and mini marshmallows. YUK!
Does anyone have a tried and true recipe that is not so horribly sweet? Maybe I don't like them because I've never had them prepared properly?
Sweet potatoes
Fresh, not canned. Brown sugar and butter, sometimes pecans, but NO marshmellows.
Also pumpkin pie with whipped cream and pecan pie.
Mashed potatoes:
You have to mix in sour cream to stabilize the mashed potatoes or they will become watery. But twiced baked potatoes freeze amazing this way.
Have fun!
try this - whipping cream potatoes
One bag frozen shredded potatoes
1 pint whipping cream.
about 1 1/2 t. salt.
Dump potatoes in casserole. Mix with salt. Pour whipping cream overtop and bake for 60 minutes at 350 degrees.
mashed potatoes, baby!!!

Baked ham question
This year I will, as usual, use brown sugar, pineapple and cherries on my ham. But my question is, other than to have the yummie fruit to eat, how does it change the flavor of the ham since it still has the rind on it? Just wondering. I have tried taking the rind off before baking, but soon found out that was an effort in futility. Hope this isn't something everyone but me knows!
Baked oatmeal.

Ok great cooks..need help with baked mac-n-chs!
We all love homemade baked mac-n-cheese. However, I'm not doing something right. I need your help! I made one over the weekend and it was not bad, it was just really bland. The only thing that really had any flavor was the cheese topping LOL I am using the basic ingredients; noodles, milk, eggs, cheese, salt & pepper. I am obviously lacking in the "flavor" department. So who has a great TASTY baked mac-n-cheese recipe?? Thanks!

Baked French Toast
I made this Thanksgiving weekend for breakfast. You start it the night before so it can sit overnight in the fridge. It is so simple and quick, and is absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it!
Note: I sprinkled cinnamon on the top just before baking. Can't have French Toast without cinnamon!

8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 slices of 3/4 inch thick Italian bread, cut in half.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour half of the mixture in the bottom of a 13 X 9 pan. Lay the bread out in the pay and pour the rest of the mixture on top. Flip the bread over so that it's all coated. Cover and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Melt butter in a second 13 x 9 inch pan. Stir the brown sugar and maple syrup into the butter. Move your soaked bread into the pan with the butter mixture. Cook at 350 for 30-45 minutes, depending on desired brownness.
