    Candied Sweet Potatoes (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Sweet potatoes are not to be confused with yams, though they are similar enough in appearance. The true yam is the tuber of a tropical vine, and is not even remotely related to the sweet potato.

    The paler-skinned sweet potato has a thin, light yellow skin with pale yellow flesh which is not sweet and has a dry, crumbly texture similar to a white baking potato. The sweet potato that is most often confused with a yam is the thicker, darker-skinned variety, with its orange to reddish skin, its vivid orange, sweet flesh, and its moist texture.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Current popular sweet potato varieties include Goldrush, Georgia Red, Centennial, Puerto Rico, New Jersey, and Velvet. Any of them will work well for this recipe.

    Ingredients:
    4-5 sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
    ½ cup butter
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    ½ cup orange juice

    Preparation:
    Boil cut-up sweet potatoes until tender, but firm.

    In a frying pan, melt the butter and brown sugar together until bubbly.

    Add the orange juice and whisk until smooth. Add the cut-up sweet potatoes and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until the sweet potatoes fully caramelize.

    To thicken syrup, stir in some more brown sugar as needed.

    This recipe comes to us from Valerie Wells. My best chicken jambalaya, yet. Jambalaya making is an art. In the little town of Gonzales, Louisiana, "Jambalaya Capital of the World" where I grew up, the locals work all their lives to perfect their own jambalaya recipe(s). These recipes are closely guarded family secrets. Theres a cook-off every summer at the "Jambalaya Festival." The winner is crowned Jambalaya King or Queen for the year and is privileged to be the official jambalaya cook for all the towns official functions. Ive been working on my own recipe for about ... well never mind how long!
    I hope youll enjoy my latest version of chicken jambalaya. It will likely be my favorite for a while. I love it for its flavor and simplicity. The dark thigh meat browns nicely &amp...

    Sure, stuffed omelets are great. I’m guilty of having mine drip with cheese and spill over with toppings. But nothing beats the beauty of simplicity. The blend of herbs is light and delicious. A little tart cheese adds all the bite you’ll need for this wonderful addition to any breakfast or brunch.
    Ingredients:
    4 extra-large eggs
    ½ tablespoon fresh parsley
    ½ tablespoon fresh chives
    ½ tablespoon fresh tarragon
    ½ tablespoon fresh thyme
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    3 tablespoons milk
    ½ cup goat cheese
    ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
    Directions:
    Chop all herbs and combine in a small bowl.
    In another bowl, crack eggs and add milk, salt, pepper and herbs, reserving a pinch for garnishing. Whisk together with a fork.
    Heat olive oil on a nonstick sauté pan...
