I have a fear of cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I can handle a few sides and a dessert, but doing it all? Plus the turkey? I’m out. When the day comes that I’m forced to do it all on my own I might just have a heart attack. Making sure everything comes together perfectly, timing everything…
Sides
Browned Butter Sweet Potato & Pecan Quinoa Salad
I’m a sweet and salty kind of girl. So this browned butter quinoa salad makes me incredibly happy. Almost as happy as browned butter alone makes me. {Seriously, where has it been all my life?} It’s sweet and salty and nutty and buttery. It has roasted sweet potatoes that are kind of sweet kind of salty, pecans…
Grilled Cilantro-Lime Sweet Potatoes
It looks like this has been the summer of desserts over here at Sweet Treats & More. Believe me, we don’t just eat cake and cookies every day. Although, I probably would if I could get away with it. But see, we each spinach and snacky stuff. And look….sweet potatoes too! I’ve…
‘Cause Everyone Needs a Mean Guac
My husband has a crush on Alton Brown…errr… his food actually. First it was his perfect scrambled eggs and now it’s Alton’s guacamole. But dang it’s good. I could swim in that there bowl of green stuff. But since that’s not really possible I just eat the entire bowl of it, scoopity by scoop. …

Whole Wheat (and Vegan) Sweet Potato Biscuits
I’m not Vegan, but when I saw the recipe for these Whole Wheat Vegan Sweet Potato Biscuits I was intrigued and wanted to try them. Plus my son is sensitive to eggs so I thought they’d be perfect for him. Unfortunately, he didn’t go for ’em. Wouldn’t even take a bite. If I could’ve shoved…
Carrot Stick Fries
I mentioned these Carrot Stick Fries that we ate last week with our Buffalo Wing Turkey Lettuce Wraps. I almost forgot to share the method (because it’s really more of a method than a recipe) of making them, until a reader reminded me yesterday! Thanks Crystal. Speaking of fries, did you guys know last Wednesday…
Oven Baked Parmesan-Garlic Sweet Potato Rounds
Saturday night I sent my husband to pick up a few items I needed for our Sunday dinner yesterday. On the list were sweet potatoes. We grilled black bean burgers and these Parmesan-Garlic Sweet Potato Rounds were going to be the perfect side. (They’ve been making quite the appearance around here lately. I’m slightly…
A Simple Thanksgiving Side….Roasted Brussels Sprouts
I fear the day I have to host Thanksgiving dinner. I have no clue how to cook a turkey and I’m not sure I can handle all of the pressure. Luckily, the last few years we’ve always been assigned simple sides–right up my alley. This year will be no different. I’m still not sure what…
