I’ve got bread on the brain.
Isn’t it funny how bread got such a bad rap for a while there? Poor bread…so misunderstood.
I’ll admit it. I bought into the hype for a while, and I’d like to hereby issue a formal apology to bread.
But not to white bread. I still don’t like that guy.
But this guy, I like…
Bad news: No PB&J for me anytime soon. A moment of silence, please…
So, what ‘s a hungry girl to do? Well, I need to use up the latest pile of greens so my husband stops making salads covered in Goldfish crackers…
and I lucked into a bounty of Crofter’s Pomegranate Jelly in the grocery store clearance aisle (!) for a mere buck forty a jar, so my wheels started turning…
LaBrea Organic Multigrain + leftover chicken + pom jelly + spinach and beet greens + a quick shred from a block of sharp white cheddar (still love/hate on the cheese issue) = one heckuva good sandwich! Especially when paired with local asparagus and crisped up in my trusty electric skillet…
Instead of complaining about the cold, damp, very un-May-like weather, I decided to follow some inspiration imparted by The Healthy Everythingtarian and turn my N into a P…
I hate this stupid, crappy cold weather. I want to wear flip-flops and the sun should be shining in May!
I get a free day of Autumn right in the middle of May! Woohoo! What better thing to do in the fall than roast sweet potatoes!
I’d been putting off trying the Low & Slow method that’s been swirling around the blog world because I didn’t want to heat up the kitchen, so I carpe’d the diem and rubbed some thick slices of potato with the yummy organic macadamia nut oil I’m always trying to use. It’s infused with a Tahitian vanilla bean and it’s AMAZING.
For more lowdown on the Low & Slow, I’ll refer you to Kath, because if you’re not reading her, you should be.
I was totally impressed with the results. My husbands’ take: “It tastes like a breakfast pancake.” I think he’s on the right track. They couldn’t have turned out better if I’d mashed them, made patties and fried them.
Soft, sweet, and soul-satisfying: The perfect fall food!
