Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

I hope you're enjoying #FallFlavors Week as much as I am, there are so many great recipes being shared!  

This post is sponsored in conjunction with Fall Flavors Week. I recieved product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.

 

I'm a little bit late jumping on the hasselback potato train, but when I opened the box of beautiful items Melissa's Produce sent, they were the first thing that came to mind. 


I love brown sugar with sweet potatoes, so I combined it with some melted butter and to gild the lily, I added some Taylor & Colledge Vanilla Bean Paste. I brushed that between the slices and over the top.


I popped it into the oven to roast for 25 mins.  Next I separated the slices and sprinkled Nairn's Oatcakes Oatgraham crumbs between each one. I popped them back in the oven for another 22 mins or so, until the outside was crispy and the inside was cooked through.

So delicious!  Be sure to go down below and enter for your chance to win a prize package from Melissa's Produce, Taylor & Colledge, Nairn's, Dixie Crystals and our other generous sponsors!

I'll bet those Nairn's oats were wonderful crumbled over these potatoes. Great flavor combo. The potatoes were huge. I cut one into fries and fed six people!!!

Not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but I would eat this in a heartbeat! Those potatoes were the biggest I've ever seen...it took us a bit to eat our way through them for sure.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Lemon Pizzelles

  One of the first cookies I can remember eating is a pizzelle, and I'm still a huge fan today.  Even though you need a special iron to make them, the rest of it is really so simple. This time around I took the basic pizzelle recipe and instead of vanilla or anise, I used Adams lemon extract. I also used some of their yellow food coloring to distinguish them from my regular pizzelle.
