I found a "grabber" at the Dollar Tree. (It was a dollar. LOL) It was the BEST dollar I ever spent....I use it to pick up all those #$%# nuts without bending (or with minimal bending) It might be just the ticket for picking up those potatoes. Keep an eye out for one either at Dollar store Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774288136382981798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-56764069915823994722021-10-25T12:36:17.576-04:002021-10-25T12:36:17.576-04:00Kelsey, we like sweet potatoes but as you're s...Kelsey, we like sweet potatoes but as you're saying, too much of a good thing can lead to food fatigue! patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-4090610638741190992021-10-25T09:53:50.929-04:002021-10-25T09:53:50.929-04:00What a blessing to be able to glean all of those s...What a blessing to be able to glean all of those sweet potatoes! One year Colton and I happened upon a really good sale and bought 50lbs of sweet potatoes for $10. I canned some (my first experience with pressure canning!), froze some, and made lots of casseroles for the freezer, as well as cooking fresh. I never thought I could tire of sweet potatoes, but after we finally got through them all, Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680467667767592482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-81288031238085065902021-10-24T21:07:47.633-04:002021-10-24T21:07:47.633-04:00I went to the alternative practitioner I have told...I went to the alternative practitioner I have told you about.

And being a household of one, I typically buy only what I'll use during a month's time. Love them baked and also in a casserole, as well as cut into wedges or strips and baked as fries. My pup also loves them, both cooked (plain) and cut into slices / slabs and dehydrated. They make good healthy chews for the pup!Lori Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649542104284197181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-79920047276117303952021-10-24T16:49:24.666-04:002021-10-24T16:49:24.666-04:00Practical Parsimony, we place them in crates out o...Practical Parsimony, we place them in crates out of the sun where they can get plenty of air flow. After about 2 - 3 weeks they are ready for preserving.<br /><br />I will can some for use in sweet potato pie, bread and casserole. Our most favorite way to use them though involves pre-cooking them about half way. Letting them cool, removing peel, slicing in about 1/2 inch rounds, flash freezing patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-29961544214633411092021-10-24T16:38:50.861-04:002021-10-24T16:38:50.861-04:00I love sweet potatoes, Beauregard, in particular. ...I love sweet potatoes, Beauregard, in particular. How do you cure your sweet potatoes? The first time I ever bought potatoes from the farm, I bought 120 lbs for myself and forty for a friend. I sub sweet potatoes for pumpkin in pumpkin pie and and pumpkin bread. Of course, I have sweet potato pie and sweet potato bread. I never worry about the forecast of shortages of pumpkin.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.com
