🍠 3 Sweet Potato Meals That Will WOW Your Taste Buds 😍

[@jhn146]

I don't care for sweet potatoes, but I have a story about them. When my husband was a small child he was a prisoner of war for 3 1/2 years, held by the Japanese who invaded Indonesia. They were starved deliberately, and they made the little kids work in the garden where the Japanese guards grew sweet potatoes and cotton. They would sell the cotton, using slave labor. My husband would sometimes hide a sweet potato under his shirt and bring it to his mom to feed her, him and his brother.

[@charitys.3862]

Speechless 😢😢❤

[@Michelle-u7y]

WOW! What a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@judigood4606]

Good for him! Bless his heart ❤🙏🙏🙏

[@brendaoishi3210]

My husband and his brother were born in a US concentration camp.

[@michellegriffin1994]

Aww what a bittersweet story. Sweet boy.

[@lovelyflows7460]

Every time I hear Steven talk, I get a flash back of Andy Taylor from the Andy Griffith show!

[@palomahealing5073]

Yessss he does!!😮 I just realized that.

[@denitam917]

He threw in one last pun at the end "Yes I Yam". You two are the best!

[@lynnsimpson8786]

Love sweet potatoes!! And I agree with Mandy. No runny eggs. These all look awesome

[@pameladjesbrownssusu6594]

I love watching the two of you. I can tell how much in love the two of you are.

[@AudraSullivan]

My dear, would you please put together a cookbook? A collection of your recipes in one place would be lovely.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Thank you, everyone for your prayers 3 weeks ago when I mentioned some prayer request. I ask y'all to please continue to pray for us. My hubby goes on January 7th for total shoulder replacement surgery and I go to meet with the surgeon the next day on the 8th. We appreciate all of the prayers and continued prayers. Y'all are a blessing to pray for us. Thank you, again. God Bless.

[@CharlenePink-Dufresne]

Continued prayers for you all.

[@Sharon930]

It is a privilege to keep you and yours in my prayers 🙏

To the Commentater, my grandparents always had the windmill cookies too. Definitely brings back memories.😂😊 Mandy, you are such a delight to watch.😊

[@maryjoeckenrode7307]

My favorite!

[@LeahJ_stiches]

100% agree with Mandy on the eggs. No runny yolks for me! :-)

[@jenniefowler4968]

I made a crockpot meal for Christmas. I had sweet potatoes, a few regular ones, and onions. I drizzled olive oil and sprinled garlic powder and seasoning salt. I had turkey tenderloin on top of the veggies on high for a couple of hours. Very tasty.

[@bellamama331]

I grew up eating windmill cookies in Chicago. This was in the 60’s. I still love them.

[@OZARKMOON1960]

Not sure how long they've been around but my dad was born in 1917 and lived mostly in Texas. He loved them and we had them often when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s, so they must have been around before then. Ah, google tells me 1947.

[@cherylscheller4278]

We also love the common tater..you are very lucky to have Steven..I've seen the way he looks at you...a man cooking in the kitchen is an honor too❤❤😊 I grew up on those windmill cookies..what a memorable treat..

[@AZJH8374]

When you make candied pecans, add a tablespoon of cayenne. Game changer!❤❤❤❤

[@rls2348]

Not a sweet potato fan but a channel fan. You two made them look very appetizing!

[@ChameleonzDream]

Another good way to have sweet potatoes is sweet potato fajitas just use wedges of sweet potato that are baked or air fried with oil and taco seasoning on them in place of the meat also taco seasoning on your onion and peppers it’s really good

[@muskybigfish]

We use to put vanilla Ice Cream in between 2 Windmill cookies and freeze them, so good!!

[@karengriffey2575]

I made the sweet tater sloppy Joe cold slaw bowl for my dinner tonight! OMGoodness it’s absolutely delicious! I sent your video to my daughter so she can make this bowl for my grandchildren. Happy New Year!🎉

[@deborahsimpsonauthor4507]

Helpful hint for working with sweet potatoes! Pre-cook them in the microwave for about 3 minutes. They will peel and cut way easier. Let them cool before handling, and just check them at 10 minutes in the air fryer, and adjust time accordingly. If you dont want to 'nuke' them, you can also do it on the stovetop; bring water to boil, put in whole potatoes and let boil for about 5 minutes.

[@kmama802]

I do sweet potatoes like you did in the breakfast bowl. I do a bowl with cottage cheese, sweet potatoes, an over easy egg, red onion and jalapenos. so delicious!

[@faithandveggies]

You two always make me smile! I don't comment often, but I wanted to let you know how much I've loved watching your videos and trying your recipes this last year while I've been battling terminal cancer. It was an especially hard week with treatment and you both brought some joy to me today while I'm recovering today from a chemo treatment early this week. Thank you and I bought the cookbook you recommended also. It looks great! Stay safe; we have some bad weather ahead this weekend. Happy New Year!

Keep smiling and fighting the good fight! I was 6 years old when doctors gave my mom a 5% chance of living 5 years after being diagnosed with three kinds of aggressive cancers. Well, I’m 23 now and starting nursing school next week because of my mom’s inspiring journey…and thank God, my mom will be by my side as she celebrates her 17th year of surviving & thriving! Praying for your miracle too!! ❤🙏

[@rickmiller4202]

Love the snippet of Gracie in the closing. That "Yes, Iyam." line was great. Happy New Year everyone, be well, and stay safe.

[@larrylittle694]

Hello from Oregon! You two make me so happy! Just love watching you and your recipes Jenifer ❤😊

[@sharongarverick4163]

You should be so proud that brings back memories

[@Ildikoprepperkitchen]

Just came from the grocery store and now have to go back to buy some sweet potatoes :)😋thank you for the recepies they look really good! Also just ordered the Cool book, it looks so beautiful Cant wait to put my hands on it.

[@cherichristenson7980]

I never thought to put sloppy Joe filling over sweet potatoes. Brilliant. This video also comes at a great time because our harvest of sweet potato has just finished curing.

[@colleenpiechowski8511]

Another cookie that brings back memories are Maple Creams. Shaped like maple leaves, they are so pretty and good with tea.

[@animula6908]

I got some at cvs and they were good!

[@marydavenport8515]

Happy New Year!!

[@ZachResendez]

Shredded sweet tater cakes with Asian flavors are DELICIOUS too!! Sooo many add-in options like scallions, shredded cabbage, ground pork or chicken, etc.-you’ll love um!! ❤

[@connielafortune1299]

Oh my goodness, Mandy!! I totally understand about the eggs because I'm the same way. No wetness, over hard all the way around.

[@karenkellett8980]

Thank y'all so much for telling us we can get Windmill cookies from Dollar Tree! Steven brought back a good memory and I already got my Windmill cookies too!

[@kayburris8464]

Very interesting..they all looked good. I like your little basket for air fryer.

[@andreamills5852]

I'm with your hubby I would love a runny yolk on the breakfast one. 😊❤

[@roxeneballard8875]

Wanted to let you know that I have just finished the book you recommended “Under The Magnolias”. I loved it! Still have tears in my eyes as I just finished it. Thank you for the recommendation. I love your channel 💝 Happy new year to you and your family. Fondly, Roxene

[@pamelapercell]

I love , love , love those cookies ! I'm 60 + and I thought they had stopped making them , but since you mentioned that you can find them at the Dollar Tree store I'm going to go see if I can find some . I haven't had them since I was a lot younger . You have opened a lot of doors for sweet potatoes . I now want to try a lot of new ways to eat them . Thank you very much for your video !

[@didihunt2538]

The windmill cookies can also be found at Family Dollar.

[@pamelapercell]

@didihunt2538 Thank you very much !

[@rebeccamontgomery9941]

Loved this video. I am definitely going to try every one of these recipes! Thank you for bringing them to us. It's a great way to start off the new year! You two are so cute and entertaining. I'm from NC and can identify with your South Carolinian broag! Makes me feel right at home. My father was a Baptist preacher and he took a church in Knoxville Tennessee in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. This is home to me now, and we love it here.

[@darbibrumbaugh9956]

Those recipes look crazy good.

[@lisahoward1969]

That breakfast bowl looks delicious 😋. I'm like you Mandy...no runny eggs. I prefer scrambled eggs all the time. I will definitely make the air fryer sweet potatoes.

[@jenniherr80]

I just love y'all. So happy you put out a video today. Needed it.

[@OZARKMOON1960]

Oh, was that Gideon in the ending shot? He is so cute. With sweet potatoes, I think it is all about what texture you enjoy - crispy little squares roasted or air fried, or baked to a nice softness. I think doing that last recipe on a baked one would be yummy. There are a few companies doing sweet potato fries (that are frozen) and some of those are so good, and with ranch dressing to dip they are excellent.

[@beyesh3760]

🎉🎉🎉Happy New Year's Mandy, along with the rest of the family. I love windmill cookies, I grew up with those from Grandpa 😊. Love sweet potatoes, unfortunately Mom only likes with butter and brown sugar 😂. I'll have to make mine separately to try these out. 😊😊

[@jensarttitude2794]

The irony of Steven saying "yes I Yam" (am) at the end of last tasting was not lost on me...especially for a sweet potato episode. In middle school , during the fall, i would eat a sweet potato for after school snack, I've always loved them.

[@lindavickerson7394]

I had forgotten all about the windmill cookies!! I’ll look for them the next time I’m shopping! I love sweet potatoes. I’m going to try your air fryer recipe!

[@charitys.3862]

I love sweet potatoes 🥔 ❤, anyway you can fix them!!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

I knew exactly what you were talking about when you were talking about the windmill cookies! Yum!

[@virginiasimer4171]

Archway also makes windmill cookies. My favorite like you Steven. Blessings to you and the subscribers for the New year.

[@tammydownes2413]

I found the ground jalapeno in the international section at the grocery store. It is amazing and a little goes a long way. So much better than cutting them up lol, Safer too.

I recently made vegetable soup and decided to chop up an extra sweet potato into it, skipping the Irish potato. What a delicious difference! Long live the healthy sweet potato!

[@Liz-Halloran]

Loving me some sweet potatoes, but definitely preferred it on the savory side so I’m enjoying this… also finding any excuse not to work out… let’s promise ourselves tomorrow morning… I was supposed to do it tonight, but I’m watching you getting motivated… but not to work out darn it. 😳Love you guys.❤

Good evening Mandy and Steven and thank you for sharing your yummy meals

[@truthseeker6370]

Love you Mandy and Steven! I ventured out and bought a sweet potato last week! That sweet tater tried to kill me lol! No joke that they are Hard to cut! For some reason when my knife wasn't going through, I thought it would be a good idea to pick it up in the palm of my hand and continue trying to cut it. Don't do it folks! Sliced my hand wide open... then the Urgent Care bandage caused a Massive pressure blister above my thumb 4 days ago. Do let Steven chop those super hard, delicious things Mandy! This was prior to seeing this new video...but I pan fried that sweet potato in butter and chili oil along with additional seasonings. It was Incredible!... except for tryin to kill me 😂

[@lindacraig8842]

The windmill cookies bring so many wonderful memories with my grandma. I’m 75 so that was a long time ago! 😆😆

[@BlkBrbe96]

Thanks for sharing these recipes, I will definitely have to try them. I love me some sunny side up eggs, and you burst the yolk into the potatoes and eat it together with toast. Yum!! You should try it Mandy 👍🏾. I love how you and your husband are together y'all are so cute. I also love how your husband helps with the recipes, and how he appreciates your cooking. ❤️ this channel!! Happy Holidays!!
