Welcome

This is my first blog which was inspired by joining The Produce Box, a local community supported agriculture group. With a weekly delivery of fresh produce, I have been challenged to create healthy nightly meals using ingredients I may not have purchased on my own.

Below is a compilation of weekly meals using the produce delivered by The Produce Box as well as some other recipes which have inspired me.

Quick Sweet Poatoe Casserole or Twice Baked

Rather than make roasted sweet potatoes with the pork tenderloin, I try out the below recipe.
Quick Sweet Potato Casserole or Twiced Baked
  • 6 sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons margarine
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts- optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Bake sweet potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until soft.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine cream cheese, brown sugar, margarine, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  4. Cut potatoes in half and scoop flesh into the bowl with the other ingredients. Mix well and fold in walnuts. Spoon mixture into potato skins.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes, or until heated through. (If making as a casserole, remove skins and disregard.  Follow recipe except spoon mixture into a lightly greased casserole and bake 10 minutes or until heated through)
