Sweet potatoes grab some Caribbean sizzle when mashed with a jalapeno pepper, green onions, and garlic. Formed into cakes and fried, the savory patties make a versatile appetizer, snack, lunch or brunch dish. Serve them warm, plain, or topped with maple syrup or a fruit chutney.

Sauteed sweet peppers and kale are tossed with farfalle pasta and sprinkled with a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese. This recipe was inspired by a similar recipe I received in my produce box from Full Circle Farm in Carnation, WA.

Chicken Soup with Adzuki Beans, Escarole, and Sweet Potato

Submitted by: BFHAWKINS 
This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.

This is one of my favorite meals: pork tenderloin medallions atop crisp steamed greens, drizzled with a robust olive oil and lime juice dressing. It is wonderful served with brown rice on the side and the white or blush wine of your choice.
