It's August!!!

Well, here it is...already August 13th and I realize I haven't done much posting at all this summer!

This afternoon I'll be at the Grayslake Farmers Market. So far, I've lucked out with wonderful weather and today promises to be another beauty. Scattered clouds so it's not too hot and most of the rain is expected to be in the south suburbs.

So, what am I making today? Honey Mustard Sweet Potatoes...in the pressure cooker. Here it is.

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled (optional)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c water
1 tsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon

Finely dice sweet potatoes. Add oil to pressure cooker. Saute potatoes until well coated and slightly brown which will help to caramelize the potatoes. Add water, mustard, honey and cinnamon. Place cover on pressure cooker and lock. Bring up to high pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Quick release. Enjoy!!!

Sweet potatoes are naturally high in Vitamin C. By cooking them in the pressure cooker, nutrients are retained much better than in traditional stove top cooking. It's also much faster, will not heat up the kitchen (especially if your pc is electric) and will save energy.

Stay tuned for more recipes.

Bon Appetit!
