Sweet & Simple: Roast Sweet Potatoes with Butter & Brown Sugar

Every year for Thanksgiving I make a big sweet potato casserole. But, with tons of sugar, cream, and eggs, its essentially a sweet potato pudding. This year, Ive resolved to simplify my Thanksgiving sides, and make things a little healthier. Thats where these simple roast sweet potatoes come in. They are so easy to make, and with brown sugar and melted butter, are incredibly rich and buttery.

They take maybe one minute to prep, and can easily be added to a crowded oven. All in all, simple roast sweet potatoes are an easy, delicious, crowd-pleasing, and altogether well-behaved Thanksgiving side.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Butter and Brown Sugar (adapted from Cooking in the Moment by Andrea Reusing)

1 sweet potato per person
1/2 tablespoon of butter per potato, or more
1 2 teaspoons brown sugar per potato
1/4 teaspoon sea salt per potato

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, and then poke all over with the tines of a fork.

Wrap tightly in foil. Place in the oven, and roast for 60 70 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are quite soft. Carefully unwrap, slice down the middle, add the butter, sugar, and salt, and serve.

Chocolate Gingerbread Crackle Cookies

Its time to start thinking about cookies not only for the upcoming holidays, but for warming the house when its cold outside. November is the month when I start to crave those warm, heady flavours of ginger, cinnamon and allspice these chewy, crackly cookies satisfy my craving for something festive and chocolate, all in one. Theyre perfect for lunchboxes and after-school snacks, or serve a platter of them warm, with icy milk shooters, for a deliciously different Thanksgiving dinner dessert.

These cookies are easy to mix together, lower in fat than most, and kids love rolling them into balls and then in sugar to coat.

Its a stiff chocolate dough, spiced with traditional gingerbread spices. Leave them out for plan chocolate cookies or swap peppermint extract for the vanilla.

Dough is rolled in regular sugar before baking for a crackly exterior.

These are best served warm. (Tip: Santa loves them.)

Chocolate Gingerbread Crackle Cookies

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
pinch allspice
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp. molasses
1 tsp. vanilla
extra sugar, for rolling

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl or in the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, baking powder and salt, breaking up any lumps of brown sugar. Add the butter and pulse or stir with a fork, pastry cutter or whisk until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.

Add eggs, molasses and vanilla and stir by hand just until the dough comes together. Place a few heaping spoonfuls of sugar into a shallow dish. Roll dough into 1 1/2 balls and roll the balls in sugar to coat. Place them about 2 apart on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 1214 minutes, until just set around the edges but still soft in the middle. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Makes 1 1/2-2 dozen cookies.

Chocolate Mud Bars

Was your family an Old Farmers Almanac sort of family? As the granddaughter of small-town farmers, I remember seeing my grandmas copy of the Old Farmers Almanac sitting in the kitchen, right and ready for easy reference. The book has been published continuously since 1792, making it the oldest continuously published book in America. If you havent yet found a reason to get on board with OFA in this modern age, perhaps youll fall in love with the classic when you check out their new Everyday Baking cookbook, by celebrated baker, winner of the Julia Child Cookbook Award, and longtime Almanac collaborator Ken Haedrich.

Chocolate Mud Bars
From The Everyday Baking Cookbook, page 54

CRUST:
1 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

FILLING:
cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
teaspoon of vanilla extract
cup cake flour
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Butter an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.

For crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well with your hands. Add the melted butter, stir well with a fork, then rub the ingredients together well with your fingers until thoroughly mixed. Press the mixture evenly in the prepared pan to form a level layer on the bottom with a lip extending about inch up the sides of the pan. (Do not prebake the crust).

For filling: Combine the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over not-quite-simmering water. When melted, whisk to smooth, then remove the pan from the heat. Scrape the chocolate into a medium bowl and cool to lukewarm. Preheat the oven to 325oF. Whisk the sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the lukewarm chocolate. Stir in the cake flour, mixing until smooth. Stir in the walnuts. Scrape the batter over the crust and smooth with a spoon. Bake on the center oven rack for 35 minutes only no longer. Cool on a rack. Refrigerate an hour or so before slicing. Serve at room temperature. Makes 16 bars.

Everyday Baking, with its handy reference section and time-tested advice sprinkled throughout, demystifies the art of baking and will inspire home bakers of all skill levels to make delicious breakfast treats, after-school snacks, and desserts.

Apple & Pear Oatmeal with Brown Sugar and Cinnamon

Today was the first rainy, miserable day of autumn in Brooklyn. Its like an oatmeal commercial out there. And you know whats perfect on a day like an oatmeal commercial? Oatmeal. A warm bowl of oatmeal with fresh fall fruit, a little brown sugar, and a splash of milk is a comforting way to prepare to face an uncomfortable world.

This oatmeal was also a great family breakfast, appealing to grown-ups, kids, and toddlers alike. Its downright loaded with fresh fruit, so its a healthy way to start the day too! A hint of brown sugar and fresh-grated cinnamon ensure that the kids will come back for more of this whole grain breakfast treat.

I like my oatmeal on the firm side, so my recipe details the proportions and cook time that I prefer. If you like your oatmeal on the softer side, go with a ratio of 1 part oats to 2 parts water and cook for a total of 20 minutes.

Apple & Pear Oatmeal with Brown Sugar and Cinnamon
serves 4

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 cups pears and apples, cored and minced
1 teaspoon fresh-grated cinnamon

In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, and stir in the oats. Turn heat to low. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the brown sugar and prepared fruit. Cook for an additional 7 minutes.

Check oats for doneness, and finish with the cinnamon. Serve with a sprinkle of brown sugar, fresh fruit slices, and a splash of milk.
