Frittata with broccoli rabe →
After my last debacle with a frittata, I questioned my kitchen skills. Now, I’m wondering if it was the stupid recipe I was using, which had about five million ingredients in it. This is the kind of recipe and ingredient combination that actually makes sense to me from beginning to end. I consider this my new challenge.

“Marshmallows on Sweet Potato Casserole”
– My Mom loves marshmallows on her sweet potato casserole. In my holiday meal quests, I’ve replaced marshmallows with a bourbon glaze, carmalized apples, candied pecans or more. Maybe, this year, I can bring the marshmallows back for my Mom while using this recipe from Saveur.

Looking for Sweet Potato Recipes

Granted, these experiments are limited to just a couple of the dishes, but that’s enough for me. In particular, my family lets me use them as guinea pigs for various sweet potato casseroles.
