We have officially found the three BEST sweet potato recipes ever! Well, three pretty darn good ones. All of our contestants did a great job. The entries were beautiful, healthy, delicious, and I must add, a lot of fun to taste! Thank you for all your entries - we know you put in some hard work, and we definitely appreciate all the new, creative ideas. Without further adieu, here are our winners in each category:
Kid Friendly
We loved these tacos' killer spicy/sweet flavor combination. I've eaten the leftovers for two meals since the judging - what a job perk! The foil packets are so easy for kids helping out in the kitchen (and for clean up!)
Runner up: Eden's Eats, Sweet Potato Cheese Straws
This healthy alternative to the average cheese crackers is brilliant! The soft crunch and salty, cheesy flavor is a yummy snack for kids, and grown ups. You would never know they're actually good for you!
Sugar-Free
These scones are the new breakfast of champions. Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, the spicy clove/cinnamon/nutmeg, combined with the sweet potatoes and dates makes for a complex, yet subtle flavor. Yum!
The delicate phyllo wrapped around the crunchy, chewy sweet potato, raisins and walnuts is delightful. The rum adds a deep flavor that makes me go back for seconds (and thirds!)
Vegetarian
Oh, this linguine! Who knew you could make pasta out of sweet potato strips? This pasta is tender and rich, and makes for a perfect family meal. Some of the judges said "I could give this to my kids and they'd love it just like pasta!" For sneaky moms ;)
A spring treat that is complex in flavor, easy in preparation. Spicy, sweet, crunchy, soft - everything we love about a good sweet potato recipe. Not to mention, it's only $5.96 to make! I'm ready for a picnic!
Winners receive $2,000 and Runners up $200 gift cards to Williams-Sonoma. Congratulations to all our talented bloggers!
Thank you! Thank you! :)

ReplyDeleteCongrats to everyone ~ WINNERS and the rest of us who only won new recipes for entering! Looking forward to next year!
ReplyDeleteA good vegetarian diet provides ample protein for good health. But it is common for teenage vegetarian diets to rely heavily on carbohydrates (such as bread, pasta, potatoes and cereals) instead of replacing meat with high-protein foods. It is important where protein comes from in a vegetarian diet, so that meals are planned to meet protein needs. The amount of protein required depends on factors such as age, sex, body size and activity level; for example, a high-level athlete requires a high-protein intake.

I like this recipes. I have never tried sweet potato recipe at home. I had tested it once in restaurant. I think sweet potato is big source of protein and it is also helpful to make body building.
