Raita (Indian Yogurt and Cucumber Condiment) Recipe. Roasted Sweet Potato and Kale Salad | The Health Bits. Although the spring weather is trying to make its appearance in North Carolina, there are still times where a chilly day comes around, and with that, a craving for a new staple in my kitchen — sweet potatoes! You would think that I would be craving more spring-like flavors or cooling foods this time of year, but those sneaky cool days make me want to reach for something starchy.
Since taking gluten completely out of my diet, I’ve come to appreciate sweet potatoes even more! Growing up I didn’t develop a taste for them, since they are not much of a common vegetable in Mexico. To be completely honest with you, I didn’t like them the first time I tried them here in the U.S. On days like yesterday and today, when the weather is a little gray, even in the spring (at least in this part of the world), I need something comforting yet light.
Before I leave you with the recipe, let me share some of the benefits of eating sweet potatoes, one of the healthiest vegetables out there. Enjoy! Homemade Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream - Fork Knife Swoon - Fork Knife Swoon. 24 Apr Strawberry season is officially here, and that means lots of fresh strawberry desserts are in the works! I’ve been waiting with baited breath for local berries to become available; staring longingly at the roadside farm stand near our house each time we drove by. Last weekend the farm announced their berries were finally ready, and opened with a lovely display of buckets and buckets of fresh strawberries. I picked up a big flat of sweet, bright red berries, and my first order of business was making this creamy, homemade strawberry ice cream. Frozen desserts of all kinds are a hands-down favorite in the Swoon Kitchen, but it’s pretty hard to top fresh-churned homemade ice cream, particularly when it’s bursting with fresh, flavorful fruit.

Getting Canned: An Exploration of the Tomato Soup Cake. From Soup to nuts? Pshaw. We're talking soup to cake, baby. With Seattle's brand new Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co. offering an attention-grabbing Tomato Soup cake, it seemed appropriate to talk a little bit about the background of this unusual confection. How long has it been around? Foodtimeline.org, Tomato Soup Cake, which is also known as "Mystery Cake" or "Tomato Soup Spice Cake", was perhaps first mentioned in 1928 in a Los Angeles Times snippet about cooking classes--however, in 1932 the same paper had a more official mention of the cake, including a recipe. Why did it gain popularity? What does it taste like?

Fattoush, A Delicious Middle Eastern Salad. Coconut Oil - From Villain to Health Food - A Good Appetite. The last time I checked, coconut oil was supposed to be the devil himself in liquid form, with more poisonous artery-clogging, cholesterol-raising, heart-attack-causing saturated fat than butter, lard or beef tallow. Its bad reputation caused a panic at the concession stands back in 1994, when the put out a study claiming that a large movie-theater popcorn, hold the butter, delivered as much saturated fat as six Big Macs. “Theater popcorn ought to be the Snow White of snack foods, but it’s been turned into Godzilla by being popped in highly saturated coconut oil,” Michael Jacobson, the executive director of the center, a consumer group that focuses on food and nutrition, said at the time.
