We served this for dinner tonight and all really liked it. We used a medium sized onion and steamed the sweet potatoes, otherwise we made it as written. We served it with Mickey Trescott’s grilled, herbed beef patties from her AIP cookbook, a green salad, oven roasted cauliflower and organic cherries. Delicious! Thank you for the tasty recipe.
That’s awesome! So glad you enjoyed it!
