Sweet Potatoes and Apples

Recipe - Sweet Potatoes and Apples from 100 Days of Real Food.jpgI tried to think of a more creative name for this dish, but I guess the title just has to remain as simple as the recipe itself. This side item is the best combination of quick, easy, tasty, inexpensive, and in-season produce (at least here in North Carolina at the moment). I think the sweetness of the potatoes should please most kids…my daughters definitely thought it was a hit. Below is the basic recipe, but if you are a chef who likes to experiment I think it could also be good with a little cinnamon and a touch of honey. Don’t be afraid to get creative with it and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 2 apples any variety
  • ¼ cup apple juice (100% juice, all natural)

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the sweet potato. You can leave the slices round or cut them into a half moon shape.
  2. Thinly slice the apple (no need to peel).
  3. Melt the butter over medium heat in a sauté pan that has a tight fitting lid.
  4. Throw the prepared potatoes into the pan and cook while stirring for a few minutes.
  5. Add the apple slices and cook for another minute or two.
  6. Keeping the heat on medium, pour in the apple juice, put on the lid, and steam until the liquid has almost evaporated. It should only take another couple of minutes. Serve warm.

  1. Just wondering why I often see yams (which have the orange color) called sweet potatoes (which are quite white). The picture here looks like yams to me. Is it just a regional naming thing?

The Best Pulled Pork in a Crock Pot from 100 Days of #RealFood
This is some of the best pulled pork I've had in a long time (I've been working on perfecting this recipe for months!), and it also doesn't include any highly processed ingredients like refined sugar, corn syrup, or ketchup. My husband says it is so good that no BBQ sauce is necessary. Now, you know it’s good pulled pork when that happens. He would like me to pass on that he does like to dip it into a little hot sauce, although I for sure prefer mine with nothing added. Try it both ways and decide for yourself. Either way this is a great dish for serving (and pleasing!) a crowd.

Slow Cooker Sunday Sauce
This Sunday sauce is a hearty, delicious crowd pleaser. There is just no other way to describe it! I was first introduced to this style of spaghetti sauce by our old babysitter, Kim, long ago when we lived in Florida and I was working full time for corporate America. While the baby (who is now 8 going on 9!) was napping, and I was working, rather than sitting around Kim would start or sometimes even make our dinner for us. Now that is a good babysitter. If you are paying someone by the hour, there is just no need for sitting around in my opinion! And with our work schedules back then, it was such a life saver at times. Granted, at that time in our lives, the meat wasn't local and the tomatoes weren't organic and the pasta definitely wasn't whole-grain, BUT it was still a somewhat wholesome meal I very much enjoyed and remember to this day. And thanks to a similar dish made by my friend Trang and a "Super Sunday Sauce" recipe I found in Rachael Ray Magazine I was able to piece together how Kim made this for us plus - added bonus - turn it into a dish that can simmer all day long in the slow cooker!
