Sweet potato and eggs breakfast hash

SweetPotatoBaconHash

I’ve missed you! You know that raw excitement a dog feels when its human friend returns after being away FOREVER…or, say, 15 minutes? That’s how I feel about seeing you again. Amidst all the chaos over the past couple of weeks, I’ve paused several times to think about how I haven’t been very fair to you. I just disappeared without notice and without any indication of where I went or when I’d be back. A lot has happened since we last met (including this mouth-watering sweet potato hash, but we’ll get to that later). For starters, we drove to my parents’ house two weekends ago and spent the entire time crafting for the wedding. I sacrificed a pair of jeans to a can of paint to make wedding signs from old fence boards and brush color-coordinating chevrons on our corn hole game.

SweetPotato&EggsHash

In more current news, we spent this past weekend packing up our tiny in-law apartment and hauling it over to our new (much larger) house! To my good fortune (and, he might argue, his dismay), my dad’s job sent him to The Bay Area right in time to help us move on Thursday and Friday. The truly impressive part of the whole experience is discovering just how much stuff we crammed into our miniature barely-1-bedroom apartment for the past 3 years. We’re talking enough stuff that makes a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house feel full. It seems Lucas and I have a knack for Tetris. Saturday morning after the move, my mom, who came down on her own free will to help, woke up early to unpack all the boxes labeled “kitchen,”  polish the stove, and clean the filthy microwave. Best mom ever. Not to mention that she also wound up taking on a majority of the heavy lifting the day of the big move, while I sat at home waiting for Comcast to show up 2 hours late.

Instead of a relaxing Sunday morning, the three of us woke up before dawn to hit the Alameda Point Antiques Faire in search of a credenza for our living room. It took less than 5 minutes before we scored this gorgeous vintage walnut piece.

Credenza

Isn’t she a beaut? Had we not been so exhausted that we fell asleep for 3-4 hours when we got home, this sweet potato and eggs hash would have been a perfect cap to the end of a successful shopping morning. With our house in shambles, last night was the first dinner I got to cook in my new not-so-pint-sized kitchen. It was AH-MAZE-ING. When I wanted a pot, I didn’t have to lift five other pots to get to it. When I needed to put something on the counter while I tended to the potatoes, I had the space. And when I didn’t feel like doing dishes? I had a dishwasher. I feel like a little girl who’s just upgraded from her Easy Bake Oven and plastic kitchen cart to a real-life grown-up space to cook. What better to christen the new stove than breakfast for dinner? With bacon. It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s clean-your-plate delicious. (Yes, that’s gluten-free bread on the plate!)

SweetPotatoHash

Having first made it a few weeks back, I’d already planned to share this recipe with you next, but when I started writing about it yesterday, all the memories of the flavors dancing on my taste buds came to mind and I had to whip it up again. Though this time we dined in style at our new dining room table and not hunched over the coffee table.

Sweet potato and eggs breakfast hash (Adapted from William’s Kitchen)

  • 2 medium red garnet sweet potato, peeled and diced to ¼-inch cubes
  • 3 to 4 strips thick cut applewood smoked bacon
  • 2 small shallots, coarsely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or dried sage (one time I used thyme and the other sage…both sang in the dish)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 4 eggs
  1. Heat an oven-proof cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook until dark and crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add the diced sweet potato and shallots to the skillet. Season with thyme (or sage), salt, and pepper, and stir to coat.
  3. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Partially cover the pan and cook for another 7-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. Preheat the broiler.
  5. Crumble the crispy bacon over the top of the potatoes.
  6. Crack 4 eggs on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven for 5 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked, but the yolks runny.

      Thank you:) We feel like we scored with that walnut buffet. So much so that we don’t even notice that we temporarily don’t even have a coffee table…or a decent sized couch. ha.

  • {Recipe} I’m a firm believer in DIY edible holiday gifts. Dark chocolate honey fig walnut truffles are my secret holiday weapon - made with plump flavorful Orchard Choice and Sun-Maid California Dried Figs (ad). They’re impressive and decadent, while secretly easy and healthy. Win-win. Better yet, pack the truffles in a gift basket with some homemade preschool art and it’s a win-win-win. • Get the recipe link in my profile! @ValleyFig #VFigFeed @sunmaid •

  • {Recipe} Gluten-free butternut squash gnocchi with sage brown butter – recipe below! This week, @OXO challenged a bunch of their blogger partners to make a warm winter meal using a butternut squash and their large y-peeler. I’ve been ignoring butternut this fall because I hate peeling it (you too??), but the new y-peeler makes it so much easier to peel. Also I’m moderately certain the peeler has magical powers. This butternut squash gnocchi marks the first (yes, THE FIRST) time my 16 month old toddler has voluntarily and emphatically eaten any of the vegetables I’ve served him. He ate his whole plate then went and stole his sister’s leftovers and ate that too. Then ate cauliflower the next night and hasn’t stopped on the vegetable kick! Head over to see what @hummingbirdhigh made with her butternut squash! #oxobetter #sponsored

Gluten-Free Butternut Squash Gnocchi
Serves 2-4
•
1¼ cups soft roasted butternut cubes, packed
1 cup + 2 Tbsp almond flour
½ cup + 1 Tbsp tapioca flour
¼ cup sweet rice flour
¼ cup fresh grated parmesan, plus more for garnish
½ tsp kosher salt
1 large egg, whisked
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
10 sage leaves
•
Whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour, sweet rice flour, parmesan, and salt. Use a ricer or potato masher to mash the butternut squash cubes until smooth. Add flour mixture to squash along with egg and mix to combine. Use your hands to form into a dough. Add up to 1 Tbsp more almond flour and tapioca flour as needed if dough is too soft. Dust well with tapioca flour.
Dust surface with tapioca flour. Divide into four pieces. Roll each piece unto a long rope, about 1-inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch pieces and gently roll each piece along the tines of a fork and place on a baking sheet dusted with tapioca flour.
Melt butter in a skillet until hot. Add sage leaves and fry for 1-3 min, until crisp.
Bring pot of water to boil and working in batches, boil the gnocchi until it just floats to the top. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to skillet with butter and fry until browned on each side. Transfer to plate and serve topped with browned butter, grated parmesan cheese, and fried sage leaves.
  • {New} Gluten-free dairy-free pumpkin pie with cinnamon hazelnut crust. Hope whatever you’re doing for Thanksgiving, you’re with people you love doing something you love. For me that means staying up until midnight baking this pie - in a tart pan to maximize the crumbly shortbread crust to filling ratio!

  • {New} Arugula apple salad with roasted shallot and garlic vinaigrette (aka magic salad sauce). I walked a plate of this salad down the hall to our contractor last week and a few days later her told me he looked for the recipe to make it and was disappointed it wasn’t up yet. THAT’S HOW GOOD IT IS. Made in partnership with @safeway (ad) with inspiration from our @cobramestateusa tour last month, this is a showstopper salad bound to be the talk of the table! Get the recipe link in my profile and all the ingredients at Safeway! #swybloggertour.
  • As I grabbed a pear to slice up for my breakfast, I asked Zoella if she wanted one too. Nope. But as soon as I was done slicing the pear, she asked for a pear, of course. So I gave her mine and got another. Then she asked for pear pie. And, well, here we are. This vanilla bean pear persimmon pie is my favorite fall pie for any reason.

  • {New} A vegan gluten-free stuffing everyone at the table can enjoy! I’m a stuffing snob with strict expectations for texture – it’s gotta be moist, but not soggy, with a crisp toasted layer on top. And for that you have to start with a great bread – here I’ve used @littlenorthernbakehouse’s plant-based GF Seeds & Grains loaf that’s nutrient-rich and hearty (ad). Loaded with mushrooms, pears, and topped with toasted seeds & grains, this recipe lacks nothing in flavor or texture, sure to win over meat-eaters and vegetarians alike.

  • {New} I’m pouring out my heart into a pan of freshly baked gluten-free cinnamon rolls. Because apparently I’m not allowed to tell my threenager I love her anymore 😳😭. On the way to school this morning, I told her, “You know how much I love you? I love you to the moon and back!” And in her most annoyed tone ever she sassed back, “ I already know that because you tell me all the time! Stop telling me - I just know that mom!” • Find the recipe link in my profile for these tender fluffy cinnamon buns with gooey filling. Everything you love about classic cinnamon rolls but with nutritious, flavorful gluten-free flours! #cinnamonrolls •
