It’s recipe time for the CobraHead Newsletter. For the last two months I had instructions not to use sweet potatoes or any potato in my recipe. But this time I snuck my proposal in before anyone could say anything. I don’t think they really minded though – these latkes are delicious. I’ll try to pace myself on the use of sweet potato recipes but we still have over 30 pounds left and they don’t sprout nearly as fast as the white spuds. 2...

I say many because I hadn’t opened the book in years for these exact ingredients since I started making scalloped potatoes this way. And usually the recipe is doubled for my 10 x 15 inch pan since it makes a great potluck dish. 2 lbs....

Brighten your holiday table with the ‘other’ green vegetable – greens of all colors. The greens I’ve enjoyed the most recently are the seared collard greens at the Eldorado Grill in Madison, Wisconsin. Admittedly I haven’t eaten collards too many times, they just weren’t on the menu when growing up in Minnesota. If you want to try the exact recipe check it out in the ‘Eldorado Grill Southwestern Cuisine Cookbook’ by Kevin...
