Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Cinnamon and Paprika
Serve with hamburgers, hot dogs or patty melts.
1 sweet potato per person, peeled and sliced into 1/2" strips
olive oil
salt
paprika
cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 425 F.
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into strips. The easiest way to slice them after they're peeled is to put the potato length-wise in front of you and slice off a 1/2" strip. Set it aside, then slice the rest of the potato into 1/2" slices. Remove the last one, which will be much smaller than the rest, and stack up all the others, then slice again to create to 1/2" strips. Slice the end pieces separately.
NOTE: If you buy the sweet potatoes already sliced like I've seen at Costco and I'm sure are available elsewhere, I think this flavoring would work great, but really slicing your own is much cheaper!
Put the sweet potato strips into a bowl and pour enough olive oil in and toss to coat each piece. You don't want too much or they get mushy, trust me. Sprinkle with salt, paprika and cinnamon and toss periodically while you're sprinkling so everything is fairly evenly coated.
Turn onto a jelly roll pan, a pan with just a small lip. Bake for 30-40 minutes, turning once or twice.

The sesame oil and rice vinegar give this an Asian influence.
3 Tbs rice vinegar

Apple Jelly Recipe
Quarter a bunch of apples and remove the stems and blossoms.
Cover them with water and cook them over medium low heat until they are soft and mushy.
Pour this into a sieve or a cheesecloth covered strainer and set over a deep bowl.
The next morning, measure the juice. For each cup of apple juice you have, add one cup of sugar, then boil until it "tests for jelly."
Therein lies the rub, that phrase "tests for jelly." It should take about 15 minutes.
To test, put a spoonful of hot jelly onto a very cold plate (from the frig or freezer).
Put the plate back into the refrigerator for a few minutes to cool it off. What you want is for a skin to form over the top. If it's too runny when you take the plate back off, just keep cooking a few minutes.
Once you see a skin begin to form, cook another minute or two, then remove from the heat.

Hamburgers and Meatballs
Burgers – or try baking the mixture as a meatloaf, or even frying the minced meat to use as a topping for pasta.
Meatballs Ingredients
500g meat (250g beef and 250g pork. Pork may be replaced with chicken)
2 eggs
2 large potatoes or 3 small potatoes
1 large onion or 2 small onions
2 slices of bread, or 1 cup of breadcrumbs
Optional: ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Optional: ½ tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup milk
Herbs to taste such as basil, rosemary, oregano, or thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste (1 tsp salt, minimum)
Oil for frying
To prepare the meat :
Step 1: Defrost the meat for several hours beforehand.
Step 2 : Breadcrumbs: Toast 2 slices of bread and blend them or just use store bought breadcrumbs.
Step 3 : Peel the potatoes, wash them thoroughly, and cut into quarters. If you are not peeling the potatoes, be sure to cut out all the eyes, mold, or fungus growing on the potato skin. Remove any parts of the potato that are green as the green parts are toxic! Place the potatoes in a microwaveable bowl, and pour in enough water to just cover them. Cover the bowl and microwave for four minutes. Pour the water into a pot to reserve it to make gravy. Microwave the potatoes for another minute, covered.
Step 5: Peel, cut, and blend onions. Reserve a teaspoon for gravy if you are making meatballs.
Tip : Mini cleavers are the best knives for kids to use. They are just like the big ones. However, they have a much smaller and safer blade, and a longer handle – perfect for the little ones!
Caution : This recipe involves working with raw meat, knives, microwave oven and stovetop. Adult supervision is recommended. Children must be extra careful not to hurt themselves. Be aware that cleanliness is of high priority when working with raw meat. Wash your hands thoroughly with plenty of soap before and after handling raw meat.
Method :
Step 1 : Using your hands, combine the meat in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2 : Add the eggs, potatoes, onions, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup and combine by hand. Note: It helps to have one person combining the ingredients while the other adds them into the bowl.
Step 3 : Pour in the milk gradually until the mixture is just moist but not too wet.
Note: you may not need all of the milk, or you may need more of it; use your judgment here.
Step 4 : Season the meat with the herbs, salt, and pepper, to taste.
Step 5 : Make a small test patty and fry it. This will allow you to taste the cooked meat to make sure it is properly seasoned.
Step 6: Add more seasoning if necessary, and test again.
Step 7 : Shape the rest of the meat into patties or meatballs.
Step 8 : Coat each patty or meatball in a little flour and lay them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9: Spread a layer of oil in a nonstick pan and fry the meat until browned, at 160 F. Meat must be well done.

Mango Ice Cream
You will probably need 2 - 3 mangoes to make this recipe (the exact number will depend on the size of the mango). If you have too much mango, feel free to garnish the ice cream with leftover cubes. Similarly, since the tartness of individual mangoes can vary, you may want to adjust the amount of sugar.
Yields about 6 cups of mango ice cream. Scroll to the bottom for more mango recipes.
Ingredients:
2 cups peeled and cubed mango
1/3 plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra to taste if needed
2 - 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (I used 2 1/2)
1 3/4 cups half and half*
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
2 - 3 tablespoons of toasted coconut as garnish, optional
Handful of mint sprigs as garnish, optional
Preparation:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cubed mango with 1/3 cup of sugar. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
2. The next day, in a saucepan over medium-low to low heat, simmer the mango pieces with the sugar syrup. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove and cool.
3. Puree the mango and sugar syrup mixture in a blender or food processor. Add the lime juice and process again. Cover and chill for an hour.
4. In a large bowl, combine the half and half and coconut milk with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stir in the pureed mango, not beating but stirring gently to mix in. If you like, do a taste test and add more sugar if desired (I added 1 tablespoon).
5. Chill in the freezer, stirring occasionally until hardened, or prepare in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. If after preparing in the ice cream maker, you find you want a firmer consistency, pack the mango ice cream in a airtight plastic container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving.
Garnish with the toasted coconut and mint sprigs if desired.

Durian Ice Cream
Ingredients:
4 to 6 segments fresh, frozen or canned durian, as needed to make 4 ounces durian paste
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup light cream
1 cup whole milk
Preparation:
Remove the seeds from the durian. Use an electric mixer to mix the flesh into a paste. Press the paste through a fine sieve. You should have 4 ounces durian paste at this point. (If not, use more durian). Chill the durian paste until ready to use.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the vanilla essence and sugar.
Bring the milk and cream to a near boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring constantly to thicken. Take care not to let the mixture boil, or the milk will curdle (if you see bubbles forming at the edge of the saucepan, take it off the stove element).
Allow the custard to cool. Chill the custard in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes, until it is just beginning to harden. Gradually stir in the durian paste, a tablespoon at a time.
Either continue freezing, stirring several times throughout, or finish the ice cream in an ice cream maker.

Banana-Coconut Energy Drink With Ginger
By Tracy Russell
1 cup (8 ounces) young Thai coconut water plus coconut meat
2 bananas
1 teaspoon ginger (more or less for taste)
Blend ingredients on high until smooth. I used one teaspoon of ginger, then I added a tiny bit more. You can also mix other spices into this like clove, cinnamon, nutmeg or even cacao. There are a lot of variations you can do. Add some powdered maca for even more energy!
For a colder smoothie, either add a couple ice cubes or use frozen bananas.
Make It Green
Okay, so you don’t have to put greens in everything, but this recipe is also good for sneaking those extra leafy greens. Banana and ginger will mask just about anything you put in there.
