I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day and are in the midst of enjoying this long President’s Day weekend.

It’s a leisurely Sunday in our home; and it’s another sweet potato recipe this week. Well, this isn’t just another sweet potato recipe in our home. It’s one of our mainstays, lighter and healthier sweet potato casserole. I don’t know why I haven’t done more posts on sweet potatoes. They are as much a staple in our home as brown rice. And if you are a regular visitor to this site, you know how much we love rice around here.

I won’t be cooking over the holidays. I love cooking with family when we get together, but unfortunately we won’t be doing that this year.

I probably should have brought them with me when I moved, but storage is a huge issue here. And they were only occupying a small space in the closet in my old room. It makes me so sad that it was taken out to the curb along with the trash, treated like trash. I know it’s just stuff. But they can never be replaced. I can never go back in time to recreate my wedding. And no fancy music box would carry the same meaning as the one given to me by my dad years ago. I always considered myself a pragmatist.

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Cookies

Sweet Potato Cookies

I’ve received a number of beautiful cookbooks over the past few weeks. In the past, I would peruse through the books for the beautiful pictures, not necessarily the recipes. I’m just horrible at following directions. I’m kind of impatient that way. It’s ironic for a person who blogs about food and recipes. But I’m trying to change that. I’m planning to cook at least one thing from each book I own. It may take a while, but I’ll get there…eventually.
