Quick and Easy Recipe: Hubby Cooks Baked Sweet Potato Yams

Hubby loves researching new ways to live healthy. He recently read Dr. Gundry's "The Plant Paradox"   and learned the many wonderful things about sweet potatoes, and since that day, sweet potatoes have been part of our meal. We usually buy our sweet potatoes at Trader Joe's. However, when we want to splurge a little, and get the bigger yams in different colors, we go to Whole Foods. I used to bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for an hour, a t   400°F for 45 minutes to an hour. However, Honey's way is more efficient and quicker. Wash the potatoes well. Put 1 potato in microwave dish. You can poke some holes into it if you like, but it's not necessary. Microwave potato for 6 minutes on High Cut in half Score or cut cross-wise Season with grass-fed butter, salt, cinnamon and a dash of sugar. Happy eating  😊

Happy Hour at Seasons 52: $33 of Fun dining, music, & friendly faces with Flights & Flat Breads & Appetizers

My husband and I rarely go out to eat but when we do, we always want the experience to be worthy of our time and money. Last summer, we discovered Seasons 52 by the Menlo Park Mall. We were greeted with a warm welcome when we walked in. We didn’t have reservations so we sat at one of the booths at the bar. Our waiter was very attentive.  The drinks, food and dessert didn’t disappoint. The tab was less than $100. We were so pleasantly surprised that we left a tip higher than the normal 20%. A few months later, we brought my daughter and son-in-law for her birthday – and the dining experience was another memorable one! A few months ago, we got together with 4 other couples, and again, we were pleased. If we had known ahead of time, we could have booked a  private room for our group, for a minimum tab of $500. However, what got my husband and I excited was the happy hour, also known as “Sunset at Seasons” , which is daily from 4pm to 6:30pm. Last week was

WHAT'S COOKING: MOM'S STUFFED CABBAGE

It is a tradition for my Jewish Mom to make Stuffed Cabbage on Passover and Hanukkah. It's a labor of love, patience and practice.  It's a tradition which was passed on to her by her ancestors who came all the way from Russia. This recipe makes approximately 24-30 rolls

WHAT'S COOKING? BROILED TOFU AND STEAMED MUSTARD GREENS WITH MANGO SAUCE

Tofu, also known as bean curd, is an excellent source of calcium and protein. The great thing about tofu is that it absorbs all the flavors of the seasoning you use to cook it. Mustard greens resemble that of a cabbage or kale, but with a distinct horseradish-mustard flavor. I'm a Trader Joe's fan so I buy most of the ingredients at TJ's.
