Just as an afterthought to this post that was obviously done a few days ago, I am an avid Food Network watcher–the canadian version fo this channel has a few different shows but still includes Bobby Flay –your thought on having Bobby Flay shirtless kind of bugs me–I mean he IS definitely eye candy, but I do believe he may not be so buff–I think I caught a glimpse of him in a t-shirt that wasn’t so loose and he may have m-oobs…(or man-boobs)..just sayin’ maybe we should leave it to the imagintion…and on a sidenote–I’d love to see your bathtub cake with marzipan scrambled eggs–chef Duff always seems so fun! My 3 year old loves to watch Iron Chef America and Chopped with me…always fun!

This is a fast and tasty way to prepare sweet potatoes…microwave sweet potato…top with seasoned black beans (garlic and cumin) and either plain greek yogurt or sour cream…Delicious…by the way, love your writing.

1) Grab a huge handful of sweet potatos
2) Throw them in the trashcan
3) Pour a bit of cooking oil into a fry pan
4) Set the fry pan on medium heat
5) Slice up an embarassing amount of idaho spuds
6) Slice up 2 Vidalia onions
7) Add sliced spuds and onions to fry pan
8) Cover quickly with splatter screen
9) Cook until done (or untill your girlfriend smacks you for making the apartment smell like onions)
10) Place in serving dish and cover
11) Bring to David’s apartment
12) Watch David eat the whole lot

Camp Anthony Bourdain! Oh sweet Jesus when he eats pork…

Ahem. I recommend Rick Bayless’ chili glazed sweet potatoes. http://www.fronterakitchens.com/cooking/recipes/chile_glazed_sweet_pots.html

It’s kind of a lot of work though for POTATOES; I use them on Thanksgiving and also for brunch with guests (as he recommends in the cookbook).

Ok…speaking of FN, Tyler Florence has a REALLY awesome recipe for whipped sweet potatoes with roasted bananas…sounds weird, but OH.SO.YUMMY! I topped mine with marshmallows instead of the pecan/brown sugar crunch topping and they were divine!

And speaking of Mr.Flay shirtless…I’d watch! ;)

I am not a very good cook so I definitely don’t have any sweet potato recipes (sorry) but if I did I don’t think I would send it to you anyway for fear that I would have to look at Bobby Flay shirtless.

I love all of these recipes, but I feel like I don’t have time to mess with the prep time. I have fallen into the “do you want bologna sandwiches or chicken nuggets for dinner, kids?” rut, and I don’t see myself crawling out any time soon.

The husband and I eat after they are in bed. But we sit with them and talk with them while they eat dinner.

That’s weird, isn’t it? I know.

I vote for Shelley’s easy-peasy potato cubes. Maybe I’ll get off my duff and give it a try myself!

BTW – how did the Respect Party go? I hope there were nice gifts.

Not a fan of the sweet potato, but if Bobby Flay comes over for a smackdown, er throwdown I will fly out there to cheer you on!

You and your readers have made me laugh and salivate at the same time. Yay, Jessica D. I also hoard recipes and don’t cook.
