When winter is getting me down, this is what I make. I've found roasting Roma tomatoes is about the only way to make a store-bought tomato bought in the dead of winter taste "real."
This is an alternative to the traditional potato pancake. Sweet potato pancakes, exotically spiced with cinnamon, curry powder and cumin. Great for Thanksgiving.
Walnuts, raisins and a bunch of wonderful spices are swirled into this yummy sweet potato muffin batter. The dozen muffins that emerge from the hot oven are moist, full of marvelous flavors and perfect in every way.
The crunchy topping on this side-dish casserole gives way to a cheesy interior, resulting in a comfort food winner. A bonus with this dish is that you can make the casserole ahead--assemble and refrigerate it until time to bake. Sprinkle the cornflakes over the casserole just before baking.
