Did you know potatoes this beautiful existed? Well, they do and I have good news for you. These purple potatoes are healthier than white potatoes and taste just as good, if not better! You can pretty much substitute these potatoes for any recipe calling for a white potato. Roast them, mash them, bake them. Options are endless. These purple potatoes have around 4x the amount of antioxidants contained in normal Russet potatoes (remember, purple = good). That’s real life. Healthy food can taste good too! You can find these at farmer’s markets or certain grocery stores (best bet is those that specialize in organic foods like Whole Foods). Leave the skin on when you cook them. The skin is pretty thin, but it has a lot of nutritional content. So, let’s roast some potatoes, shall we?

Pumpkin Pie From Scratch
Now that my favorite time of year is dead (get it? cause Halloween is over and its a holiday about dead things….) it’s time to move on to the biggest eating day of the year: Thanksgiving. While I’m not a big fan of pie, just about everyone else in my life is. From time to time, I like to treat them to a delicious dessert, and this week I decided to try my hand at a pumpkin pie made from scratch. That means no canned pumpkin, no pre-made pie crust and hopefully lots of happy friends!
