Hey, did you guys notice the new box over in the top right hand corner of the page?? 

The one that is titiled "Food Focus"??  Let me tell you all about it... cause I'm really excited!

Basically, here's the deal:

Every month I am going to chose a nutritious ingredient (this month it is the sweet potato) but it could be anything; a fruit, a veggie, a grain...whatever, to highlight. 

I'll shoot a "101 Video" breaking down the basics of the ingredient; what it is, what to look for when you buy it and most importantly, what the heck to do with it!  I'll also write about all it's nutritional properties and why we want to incorporate more of it into our diets over in "Food for Thought".

Then, I'll shoot another video using the ingredient of the month to make a "QuickBite".

I'll use the entire month to play with different recipe ideas and tips using the chosen ingredient which I'll then post as written recipes as they develop.  And ofcourse I'll pull up any recipes from the archives that use the ingredient as well!!!  

The "Food Focus" Box in the upper right hand corner will be where I show case it all; the videos, recipes, and articles that refer to the "ingredient of the month". 

How cool is that??

I'm really excited because I think this will be a great way to really get to know different nutritious ingredients and lots of ways to incorporate them into your everyday kitchens...and if you guys want, you can share whatever ideas, recipes, tips, etc. that you have using the ingredient as well!!  This way we all get to learn as we go...including me!

SO, what do you think??  Tell me, tell me, tell me....I want to know!!

(On another note, this recipe is from the archives...it's the perfect example of cook once, eat twice.)
