I wanted to make individual little meat and potato pies. I thought the kids would really enjoy these, and they did. Instead of white potatoes I used sweet potatoes. I am a huge fan of smoked paprika, and that added amazing flavor to these. These were a real hit and I will definitely be making […]

Barbecued Zombie Skins by Health-Bent

I also don’t […]
Zucchini & Sweet Potato Latkes by I Breathe… I’m Hungry…
I honestly can’t think of anyone who doesn’t like potato latkes or as my mother called them, potato pancakes. My mother’s version usually had jalapeño peppers, but between the added flour, the canola oil, and who know’s what else, they weren’t that great for you and needless to say didn’t leave you feeling like doing anything […]
Zucchini Jicama Latkes by Life As A Plate

While a traditional potato latka is absolutely delicious, I love the concept of using alternative ingredients that will fit […]
