Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Gouda Cheese Sauce. This morning I was looking at my home page and I realized that there is a lot of orange sweet potato and pumpkin going on. Considering the time of year I think it is very fitting. Maybe I should go red and green when Christmas comes around? Got any green and red recipes that I can try out for Christmas? In keeping with the autumn orange theme I got the idea to try a sweet potato gnocchi covered in gouda cheese sauce. The idea was to do it in a stovetop mac and cheese kind of style. I have never made a potato gnocchi before. First and most important you need 1 pound of sweet potato. In the photos I as preparing a double recipe so that is why you see so many potatoes.

Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potato for 5-6 minutes on each side, until tender. Slice the potatoes in half and let cool. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and mash, you need 1 1/2 cups of mashed potato. Add Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg; mash to blend. You have made a roux! Gnocchi. Adventures in Cooking - Journal - Baked Avocado Fries. Yep, I went there. I made the most delicious, buttery veggie even better! These are really addictive, and so delicious. It's not even funny. I first saw this recipe [the deep fried version] on Circle B Kitchen. If you want to check out her recipe, here it is.

Here is what mine looked like: Sprinkled with parmesan....YUM! Before I go into the method for cooking these bad boys, I forgot to post pictures of the cutest little man in the world. Rider Matz! Ok now, on to the avocado fries! Slice 'em up! Start with the flour, then the egg, and lastly, the panko. I sprayed these with olive oil (non-stick spray would also work), so they would brown evenly.

They were out-of-this-world crunchy, and so soft and buttery on the inside. **Update 5/2012: Cooking avocado definitely changes the taste of it! Dinner last night was a vegetarian feast! I know I say this all the time, but you can eat so much better at home if you just make the effort- trust me. Grated parmesan for serving (optional) Easter Fools. Mar 27 By Steph Hung On April 1st treat your loved ones to a simple homemade breakfast. There is nothing like a soft-boiled egg with a few pieces of bread to dip in the yolk.

Only this time there’s something a little special about the eggs: Looks like the Easter Bunny decided to make an early delivery. Materials you will need: Eggs, powdered gelatin, egg cups (look for opaque cups or else the gig may be up), spoon, bowls, and a measuring cup. Step 1: Use the spoon to crack the bottom of the egg. Step 2: Carefully remove a small part of the shell, and empty contents into a bowl*. Step 3: Prepare the gelatin – Mix each 85g box with just 1/2 cup of boiling water so the jelly will hold up when the eggshells are peeled. Step 4: Allow jelly to set in the fridge for a few hours. (*Make a quiche with the leftover eggs and you’ll REALLY impress your guests) Happy April Fools Day!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. Baked Egg Boat recipe. Breakfast is my favorite meal. I like to drink iced coffee and watch the cream climb its way down the chunky ice cubes in a dazy before the caffeine hits. I like to order bacon with whatever I’m eating. I like eating potatoes with ketchup. I like eggs over easy, and fluffy scrambled eggs. I pretty much like everything there is to like about breakfast. That is why I am pretty excited about these Baked Egg Boats. They are sooo easy to make.
