Sweet Potato Latkes

To celebrate the holidays, we bring you a Hannukah classic with a twist: sweet potato latkes!

Brought to you by the one and only Martha Stewart, this recipe features shredded Yukon gold and sweet potatoes, mixed with flour, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, and lightly fried to a golden brown crust.

***Plus, a bonus post by our friend Kat! Apple crumb pie with walnuts and raisins. Deliciousness below.

Short Ribs with Coffee and Chilies

This week we revisit a favorite recipe of ours: Beef Short Ribs braised in coffee, chilies, and wine. 

This recipe involves browned short ribs braised in coffee, chili, wine, garlic, and dried peppers. This is arguably the dish that got us into cooking. We learned that making something great doesn't need too many ingredients or fancy techniques. 

The recipe video can be found here. It was first popularized by "The Minimalist" Mark Bittman. Take a look at his recipes and column for more inspiration on simple but powerful dishes. 

Our take on the "luxurious and sensual" dish below:

Pistachio-Crusted and Mustard Glazed Salmon

Salmon, one of mightiest fish of the sea! Full of good-for-your-heart-and-brain Omega 3 fatty acids, this is a delicious protein that should be a staple of any caveperson's diet.

This week, we present Salmon glazed in whole grain mustard and lemon, and crusted with pistachios and bread crumbs. A big crowd pleaser with heavy hitter ingredients.
