Welcome to episode 2 of my new series, Dinner Roulette: You Vote, I Cook! This week, my instagram followers chose: Beef Stew Meat Mushrooms Sweet Potatoes  Cooked in the oven This was a fun challenge! I was going to dice up the sweet potatoes and cook them in the same dish as the meat and mushrooms, but then I thought it would be more satisfying if the sweet potatoes were a separate vehicle for the meat. I also wanted to cook it all at the same time, so I slow roasted the sweet potatoes, then smashed them, then roasted them … [Read more...]
