Making Sweet Potato Gnocchi Video

6 small to medium sweet potatoes
3 1/2 to 4 cups all purpose flour
2 eggs
Pinch salt
Pinch nutmeg(optional)

I’m a large pot place potatoes making sure to completely cover with water.

Bring to a boil and continue boiling until potatoes are fork tender.

Remove and drain potatoes.  Allow to cool completely.

Once cooled skin should remove e easily,

Cut potatoes in half and put potatoes through potato ricer.




Once riced add pinch or two of salt and optional nutmeg.  If you like nutmeg it does add nice flavor but be careful of amount.  It can overpower your taste of potato.

Video will show the steps.  



Freeze Gnocchi on floured cookie sheets.  Once frozen bag in freezer bags until ready to use.

When ready to use in a large pot place water, add some salt.  When water reaches a full boil add gnocchi slowly stirring so as to not stick.  Allow gnocchi to rise to top on a slow boil.  Cook several minutes (5 to 10). Drain and serve with sauce if choice.

I use a brown butter sauce or even a sage butter sauce.

Chiffon cake


Hi everyone and fall is in the air some days and some days we'll be still getting full sunshine and warm weather.  I can easily put myself in a baking mood when there is a crisp nip in the air so today I decided after seeing my friends Chiffon Cake on my Facebook Group page.

  Note:  Yes I have a page called We like to bake and cook group.  It's a very creative food group and we share photos of what we make and recipes.  We even share some gardening tips and photos.  Check us out we'd love for you to join the group.

On on to the recipe.  Anne is an excellent baker and cook so I knew her recipes would be good.  Also she is the kind of person that's honest about her recipes and we all like that.  

I'm hoping you can see the recipe clearly since I didn't re-type it.  If you can't see it well try enlarging it.  

It's delicious alone with some powdered sugar sprinkled or with some fresh berries and cream..Enjoy!

We loved it!!!!

Note:  Do  not spray pan....Also I used a bundt pan and it was difficult to remove.  My suggestion is as Anne did say use a spring form pan for best removal.
