Sweet Potato Delight

I know you guys are going to think I am crazy but this was truly delish!!!

1 sweet potato cooked and peeled, sliced 1/2" slices
1 banana, sliced in half and length wise
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
4 Tablespoon of nuts
1 - 2 Tablespoons of Honey or Syrup

Heat oil in sauce pan 2 - 3 minutes on medium heat (5)
Place the banana (flat side down)and sweet potatoes in the skillet and cover
Cook for 2 minutes
Start a smaller skillet on another burner warming at level 4
Remove lid from original skillet and cook another 5 minutes (do NOT flip, you want one side fried and one side not)
Roast the nuts in the smaller skillet - stirring constantly
be careful these will burn quickly if left unattended

Place the banana/sweet potatoes on plate, browned side up
Drizzle with honey or syrup
Top with nuts

This is delish! However, I think we needed a double recipe for my DH and myself.

Enjoy!!!

YAY - General Mills!!!

Just found this article on AllRecipes.com and thought I should share it with you. Enjoy Chex cereals as they are gluten free (except Wheat and Multi)... http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Good-Morning-Chex-Lovers-Were-Gluten-Free/Detail.aspx

Look for recipes that utilize these cereals so we can support those who support the gluten free lifestyle.

Better Bean Burger

This is an adapted burger from the Allergy Self Help Cookbook. It was so very good!!!

1 can garbanzo beans (rinsed and mashed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ribs celery (diced)
1 carrot (shredded...if you like carrots you could add another one)
2 oz package of chopped pecans
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/8 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Bobs Red Mill All Purpose Baking Flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mash the garbanzo beans in a large bowl
Add all nuts, mix thoroughly
Add olive oil, mix thoroughly
Add celery and carrots, mix thoroughly
Add salt
Add honey, mix thoroughly
Add flour 1/2 teaspoon at a time until the mixture is thick enough to make a patty

I used the large pizza stone but the recipe says parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Anyways, you form the patty's (6 but I only got 5) and put in the oven for 18 minutes.
Then you turn the patty's and cook another 10 minutes.
I added cheese and broiled for 2 minutes.

Serve with chips and lettuce and you have yourself a meal!

Delightful. DH even went back for seconds!!!

Enjoy!
