Sweet Potatoes

You have told me you have a sugar addiction, I think I need to admit I might have a butter addiction. and the fact that Tony is always trying to eat the butter straight from the dish with a spoon should confirm I use a little more than necessary. That being said I made a really good sweet potato gratin loaded with butter and cheese which probably counters all the health benefits sweet potatoes have.

So I sliced the potatoes thin and layer in a dish with butter, parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Then I poured half and half that I steeped nutmeg and a little brown sugar over the potatoes. I topped it with some panko bread crumbs, parmesan, and crumbled bacon (all mixed with just a little more melted butter) and baked for about 45 minutes. It was yummy and everyone loved it. We had it with roasted chicken and some fresh corn on the cob - also delish and smeared with too much butter.

I have been craving asian noodles - like pad thai or soba and have gone out twice this week to satiate the craving but I still want more. So I might try to tackle that one this weekend. (or realize how many ingredients I have to by and go out for more noodles). I'm not very good at getting the flavors balanced when I make asian food so I will have to do some research.

Do you know any good recipes?
