It's Sweet Potato Time!

So I wrote this post back when it was still fall...not early 2017 with piles of snow everywhere. Haha...

Fall is totally my favorite time of the year—the weather, the colors, the food.  It’s the best!  Because of all the great sales at the grocery stores lately, there have been lots of apples around our place lately, and now sweet potatoes (or yams) are coming around as well!   I have enjoyed the opportunity to make some yummy apple and sweet potato dishes.
Some of my favorites have been sweet potato french fries baked in the oven with a little coconut oil and seasoned salt...mmm, I could eat a whole pan of them!

Sliced sweet potatoes fried in a skillet with  olive oil and salt are just as good—even though they have a slightly different shape. (And every. single. time I make this dish, I almost have to physically restrain myself from adding more seasonings to it, but you really only need the olive oil and salt with these potatoes!)

And then the other day, I accidentally came up with another yummy way to eat sweet potatoes: eat them for breakfast! 

I was needing to use up some that were in the fridge, so I was going to heat it up and eat it with a fried egg or something. 

And then I remembered I had some sausage…which sounded good together with a sweet potato.

And then what about some apples?

And some onions?  

That really was how my brain was working at 7:15 in the morning.  One thought led to the next, and after a few minutes of chopping and sauteing, there was a pretty yummy sweet potato/sausage/apple/onion “hash” on the table for breakfast!  I think I just might make it again!  (This qualifies as coming up with my own recipe, right?)
