I love sweet potatoes.  They are one of those vegetables that I thought were so weird for the longest time, but then I tried one...let me tell you, my life was changed.  Ha ha, that sounds so dramatic, but it's kind of true.  I am a whole-hearted sweet potato fan! Here is the delicious sweet potato and sausage hash that I had for dinner.

Ingredients

• Chicken or pork sausages
• Cooking fat of your choice
• 1 sweet potato, diced
• 1 red apple (Braeburns work well), diced
• 1 sweet onion, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• Basil, thyme, and garlic

Heat cooking fat in a large skillet.  Add diced sweet potato, cook for around 10 minutes, or until you can just barely pierce them with a fork.  Add apple, onion and pepper, cook until tender.  At the same time, in a different pan, cook sausage until browned, then chop into chunks.  Combine sausage and veggie mixture and top with spices.  Serve hot.

If you haven't tried sweet potatoes, do it!  I promise, they are delicious.  As a matter of fact, think of the number one vegetable/fruit/food that you swore you would never try.  Maybe it was because it looks funny, or maybe it was because you tried it at one point and it was cooked weird.  Regardless, pick that one thing, and resolve to try it again!  If you need a way to find a recipe that has the food you're wanting to cook with, go to Allrecipes.com and click "Ingredients."  You can use this option to pick which ingredients you want in a recipe and which ingredients you don't want.  After you tried your previously hated food item, let me know!  I want to hear how much you love that food now.
