And thanks for looking through old posts – hope you find something to make and enjoy :)

I definitely want to go back to Germany since I was only there for a day. So many more places to see and foods to sample! Next time ;)

(I swear I did not even notice that rhyme until I typed it!!) I’ve been looking through your recipes and loving them! Also saw your post on Germany. I’m obsessed with Germany and German food. In response to your questions, I actually just started my food blog last week. I have a personal blog, but I realized I read mainly food/lifestyle blogs so I figured I’d give it a shot as well!

They make great fries, or you can wrap it in foil and roast it for a bit, and then top it with black beans and salsa. You can also use them in stews, but that’s more of a fall idea as I doubt you want the stove on for that long right now :) You could also cube them and make them into home fries with scrambled eggs… too many possibilities! I have a few posts – sweet potato fries, and scrambled eggs with home fries – if you check out the recipe page. Hope that helps!

Tip for working with them (unless you are gonna roast it): steam them for a bit first (either in the microwave or over the stove) and then let them cool all the way. That makes them super easy to peel and also helps them to cook through a little more evenly.

I just got my Boston Organics box and I’m not sure what to do with the yams. I’ve never really had yams, but I don’t really want to use them in salads. What else do you think I should do with them?

Katherine’s parents do bean salad, but not like this. Great recipe.
