Easy Curried Sweet Potato Hash

September 18, 2015 by Sarah

I’M BACK!

WOO!

The last month has been absolutely nuts!

First my mom got married.Mom's WeddingThen I started a new job.Sweet Potato HashThen my sister got married.Rebekah's WeddingTHEN I moved into a new apartment.Sweet Potato HashI’m so glad to have things slow down a bit now even though we’re not quite all settled into the apartment. I finally made our first home-cooked meal with lots of fresh veggies from the farm market in the new place a little bit ago, and it felt oh so good. We’re also working on a pretty great pantry, which I hope to reveal once it’s all organized!

I also got the sweet potatoes for this recipe at the farm market, which was bumpin’! I hadn’t been to it in years because I haven’t lived around there, but it’s one of the biggest ones in downtown Grand Rapids, and it was packed with people. I was so enthused to see everyone there supporting our local farmers. I sure got lots of glorious groceries!

I’ve also been on a little curry kick. So here you have it: easy curried sweet potato hash.

This sweet potato hash is not only really quick and easy, but it’s delicious by itself or mixed with other foods. I don’t know about you, but I love when sweet potato is added to a dish because it gives it a subtle sweetness and a smooth texture to whatever you’re eating. You can put it with eggs and greens for breakfast or add it to any rice or noodle dish, like I did in the picture below. There is a bed of romaine and kale with the sweet potato hash, a little sweet chili sauce, rice noodles (which were reheated so that’s why they’re all broken up), and green and yellow beans from the farm market.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

August 11, 2014 by Sarah

I’ve always loved tabbouleh night! When I was younger, we had a Lebanese family friend who taught my mom how to make some tasty authentic tabbouleh. The fresh taste of parsley and tomatoes together was something even my kid self appreciated. I don’t know what made me think of tabbouleh the other day, but I decided to get some ingredients to try and make my own with quinoa instead of bulgur. Bulgur is a cereal food made from wheat that is traditionally used in this dish. However, those who are gluten intolerant can enjoy tabbouleh when it’s made with quinoa.

I was in a hurry when I decided to grab the ingredients so I got the ones I was sure were in there, but I forgot to get mint. So, although this recipe does not contain fresh mint leaves, you can experiment adding them to taste if you are interested because it adds a unique flavor to the dish and is typically used.

This tabbouleh goes very nicely as a side dish because it contains both vegetables and quinoa or it would also taste great with some hummus and pita bread for a snack! Either way, it’s a nice chilled dish that gives your body some of those greens and vegetables it so loves.

Do you know how good parsley is for you?

Often times it’s used as a garnish or is a very popular seasoning, but the consumption of fresh raw parsley is less common. Parsley is a great healing food that not only provides the body with important vitamins, but it has also been proven to support the heart, joints (because of anti-inflammatory properties), and enzymes in the liver that aid in detoxification. One reason I love tabbouleh is because it’s a good way to incorporate the herb into your diet since the dish has a generous amount of fresh parsley in it. And it’s such a plus that it tastes great!
