Sweet Potato Flatbreads

This recipe is from 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook by Diane Sanfilippo.

Mix together:
2 medium sweet potatoes
4 eggs
2 T gelatin (the kind that gels)
1/4 cup coconut oil
shake of salt
enough coconut flour to make it seem the right sticky-dough consistency

Divide into 16 little patties on parchment-lined sheets, cook at 400 F for 20 minutes, flipping them a little over half way through.

Really good with honey, which I'm pretty sure is not allowed if you're actually doing the sugar detox.

Sweet Potato Sausage Hash

I asked my sister how she made this after having it several times, courtesy of her.  Every time: "It's super easy, you do blah, blah, blah, and by the way, it's in that cookbook we both have."

Cookbook: Paleo Slow Cooking by Chrissy Gower

I think I overlooked it every time b/c the fist word in the title was jalapeno.

My method:

Thinly slice about 3 sweet potatoes, chop up several bell peppers and 1 onion.  Slice up 8 links of pre-cooked sausage from Costco - some kind of turkey Italian something or other.

Layer everything into the crockpot, add a dash of smashed garlic, cook on low overnight.

Breakfast for days!  And lunch.

Sweet Potato, gratin-ish style

The idea from this recipe came from Meatified.

My method:

Peel and slice sweet potatoes.
Slice half an onion.

Layer these in a crockpot, sprinkling some almond flour and some dried "italian" blend herbs.  (Didn't measure these.)

Fill crockpot and 1/2 - 3/4 full.  Pour in a can of coconut milk.

Cook on high for 2.5-3 hours.

Delicious!

Chicken Hash

This was basically pulled from Paleo Periodical because I had some leftover chicken.

Chop an onion and a couple cloves of garlic, saute in oil of choice.
Add half a shredded sweet potato.
Add some squash - I think mine were called peter pan squash.  I put in two.

Cook until things seem close to done - add a bunch of diced, pre-cooked chicken.

Good stuff.

Zucchini-Sweet Potato Patties

These are really just another version of these zucchini patties.

Grate a medium zucchini and 1/2 of a medium sweet potato.
Mix half of this together with an egg, salt, and pepper.
Grease/oil/spray a skillet over medium high heat and spread the mixture out somewhat thin.
Cook for a while on one side (several-five minutes), flip and cook on the other side.

Ate it paired with some leftover salmon and blueberries.

Go breakfast!

Dehydrated Sweet Potato Chips

These aren't quite done yet, but I needed to write down the prep steps before I forget:
5 medium sweet potatoes roasted in the oven at 400 for 30-40 minutes.
Let cool.
Peel, slice into rounds ~1/8" thick
Sprinkle with salt and (too much) pepper.  (Next time - just the barest of turns with the pepper grinder.)
Filled up all the trays of my dehydrator.
After 12 hours they were still flat out wet.
After 24 hours they were still moist and pliable
After 32 hours they were mostly dry, but not quite there.
They'd better be done by the 48th hour tonight, 'cause I'm slamming jerky back in there soon.

Scoot

48th hour:  Um, still not dry.  Next time, must cut even thinner, in spite of risk of mushing.

60th hour: Good enough.  They're interesting and good, but not the raging success I had hoped for.  Something to play with anyway.  Might try the mandoline slicer next time.

Sweet Potato, Kale, and Sausage Soup. This stuff is GOOD.

TG and I decided it was time to kick back with some scotch and make something with kale in it.  Being on a soup kick lately, this is what we went with, based on this recipe at joythbaker's blog.

Dice an onion (or two), saute in olive oil in a large soup pot
Finely chop ginger and garlic, to taste.  Our test runs to quite a bit of both.
Add the above to the soup pot, along with some turmeric (guessing around a teaspoon) and a pinch of red pepper flakes.  Stir and cook for a couple minutes.
Add two peeled and chopped medium sweet potatoes, give them a good stir to get coated in spices and such. 
Add 2 quarts chicken broth.
Turn up the heat to bring it to a simmer.
Add a bunch of kale and half a bunch of collard greens, leaves torn and stalks removed.
Add a package of pre-cooked sausage.  (We used mild italian chicken sausages.)
Let it simmer for like 20 minutes or so, until the sweet potatoes are cooked through.  We actually let it boil away for like 30 b/c we get careless sometimes.
Add a can of coconut milk, let it heat through.
Salt and pepper, to taste.

Soooooo good.
