- Shingled Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Brown Sugar
  
  Posted at 9:44 am by Good Dinner Mrs Mellen
  
  Nov 14th
  I love to create new recipes for fabulous vegetables that are interesting and tasty. Sweet potatoes are delicious, and I love the traditional mashed and baked with marshmallow topping. Sometimes I like to have fun and use different seasonings with sweet potatoes. Excellent addition to your Thanksgiving feast!
  
  This recipe adds a little more work with the slicing and arranging of the sweet potatoes and is worth the extra effort. And you can change up the spices and have a variety of unique flavorings for the dish.
  
  Enjoy!
  
  1/2 cup olive oil
  
  1/4 packed brown sugar
  
  1 ½ tablespoons paprika
  
  1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
  1 teaspoon onion powder
  
  1 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  1 teaspoon chili powder
  
  1 pinch cayenne pepper
  
  3 1/4 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled
  
  Step 1
  
  Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl. Slice sweet potatoes crosswise on a mandoline ⅛” thick.
  
  Step 2
  
  Add to bowl with mixture and toss to coat; season lightly with salt.
  
  Step 3
  
  Arrange sweet potatoes so they are standing upright in concentric circles in a 2-qt. baking dish, packing tightly. Cover with aluminum foil.
  
  Step 4
  
  Bake for 1 hour then remove foil and bake for additional half hour until sweet potatoes are golden.
  
  Enjoy!

- Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
  
  Posted at 10:37 am by Good Dinner Mrs Mellen
  
  Apr 7th
  Last year I purchased a Philips Air Fryer and since then I’ve enjoyed creating recipes specifically for the air fryer. I love sweet potato fries and adapted a recipe for the air fryer. These sweet potato fries are healthy, spicy and tasty. Easy to make without the messy cleanup. I can make these quickly on a weeknight for a delicious vegetable to complement any meal.
  
  INGREDIENTS:
  
  3 medium peeled sweet potatoes
  
  2 tablespoon olive oil
  1 tsp sea salt
  2 cloves crushed garlic
  1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
  1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  1 teaspoon thyme
  
  1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
  
  DIRECTIONS:
  
  Preheat air fryer to 400°F 8 minutes.
  Lightly spray the fryer basket with oil.
  Slice each potato into even 1/4 inch thick fries.
  Toss with oil, salt, garlic, paprika, and red pepper.
  Cook in 3 or 4 batches, without overcrowding the pan 8 minutes, turning halfway. Place on serving plate and top with pink Himalayan sea salt.
  
  Enjoy!

- SPICY ROASTED EDAMAME

  Mar 23rd
  SPICY ROASTED EDAMAME
  
  At a local restaurant, I ordered my first spicy edamame as an appetizer and I was hooked on spicy edamame. I use frozen edamame, season and roast. Easy, delicious, I think even better than the restaurant version!
  
  1 (1-pound) bag frozen edamame, in the pod (green soybeans)
  
  1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  2 thinly sliced garlic cloves
  
  2 teaspoons sea salt
  
  1 teaspoon chili powder
  
  1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  
  1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  
  Preheat oven to 375 F. Place edamame in a large bowel. In a small bowl combine oil, sliced garlic, salt, chili powder, pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Pour oil mixture over edamame.
  
  Bake edamame in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until pods begin to brown. Stir once halfway through cooking. Serve warm.
  
  Enjoy!

  I love edamame enjoying steamed with just a little sea salt. So good and healthy for a change I like to spice up Edamame with this hot sauce. If you want it with less heat use only one tablespoon Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and three tablespoon low sodium soy sauce. Either way a deliciously tasty snack perfect for game day!
  
  Spicy Edamame
  
  Ingredients:
  
  16 Ounces Steamed Edamame
  2 Tablespoons Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
  2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  Garnish: Coarse Sea Salt
  
  Cook Edamame according to package instructions. Place in a medium bowl combine. Mix hot chili sauce, and soy sauce and toss with Edamame. Sprinkle with Coarse Sea Salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  
  Enjoy!

  Perfect during the busy holiday season is his deliciously simple Enchiladas casserole. You add more heat to the dish by adding more hot sauce and 2, not one jalapeno pepper. Have fun adding your own spin to the meal.

  1 pound boneless chicken breast or use Purdue short cuts
  
  2 tablespoon olive oi
  
  1 bunch scallions
  
  2 cloves garlic
  
  1 fresh jalapeño chile pepper, chopped
  
  1 cup tomatoes, chopped
  
  1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
  
  2 teaspoons Franks Hot sauce
  
  1/2 cup cream
  
  1/2 cup sour cream
  
  10 soft flour tortilla
  
  1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  
  Jalapeño wheels
  
  Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Place chicken breast in baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes. Shred chicken and place in a bowl, set aside. Heat oil in a skillet, add scallions, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and tomatoes. Saute, stirring for 5 minutes then add cilantro and hot sauce continuing to cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside. Put tortilla between two paper towels and microwave for one minute. Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup chicken mixture and roll up tortilla. Place tortillas seam sides down, in baking dish. Combine cream, sour cream and spoon sauce over tortillas. Top with cheese and Jalapeno wheels. Bake for 25- 30 minutes or until bubbly and starting to brown.

- Chipotle Turkey Chili
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Good Dinner Mrs Mellen
  
  Nov 30th
  After Thanksgiving, I use the leftover turkey to make a big batch of this hot Chili freezing in individual containers to enjoy during the busy holiday season. After a long day of baking and preparing for Christmas I can sit back, relax, serving this delicious Chili for dinner. If you don’t want it really hot substitute 1 chopped jalapeno pepper for the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, just as good but without the kick!
  
  Chipotle Turkey Chili
  
  2 tablespoons olive oil
  
  4 cloves garlic, minced
  
  1 onion, diced
  
  1/4 cup whiskey
  
  One 14-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  
  One 14-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  
  Two 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
  
  Two cups chicken broth
  
  1 red pepper, diced
  
  1 tablespoon chili powder
  
  1 tablespoon ground cumin
  
  1 teaspoon salt
  
  1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced (use less if desired)
  
  3 cups cut-up cooked turkey
  
  1/4 cup masa harina
  
  5 limes, 1 juiced, 4 cut into wedges
  
  sharp Cheddar, grated
  
  sour cream
  
  1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
  
  Directions
  
  Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for a few minutes until the onions soften. Add 1 1/2 cup chicken broth, reserving the rest, then cook for a couple of minutes to reduce. Add the black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and chipotles and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and cook for 1 hour. Add cooked turkey.
  
  Combine the masa harina with the rest of the chicken broth and stir to make a paste. Add this into the chili, along with the lime juice. Stir and cook until thick, 10 more minutes.
  
  Serve with the grated cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, cilantro and lime wedges for squeezing.
  
  Enjoy!
