What do you do when you harvest over fifty pounds of sweet potatoes from the garden? You learn new recipes. Today Mr. P. and I went to our late church service and afterwards I made brunch. I had cooked some sweet potatoes last night. I mashed them so they would be ready to put in Sweet Potatoes biscuits. I don't claim to be an expert at making making biscuits. These did not rise as much as I had hoped but they were still very good. Mr. P. loves them. I made plain biscuits many, many years ago and they were like a rock so I have always stayed away from trying to make them.
I also found a recipe for North Carolina Sweet Potato Frittata. This turned out to be pretty good too. Interesting combination for sure.
So after brunch I finished putting mulch on the garlic I planted yesterday and then took some time to do some
Slow Stitching. I worked on this pattern from the
Aurifil BOM. This one was designed by Amanda Woodward-Jennings. I am linking up to
Kathy's Quilts.
I spent the time on the patio and this is the view I have. I watch the birds as much as I stitch. I have been taking advantage of days like these spending them outdoors. Our weather has been perfect.
I thought I would show you this late bloomer from the garden. Perfection!
I hope you have been able to have a slow relaxing Sunday.
With Passion,
Carrie P.
Peaceful spot to stitch! I love watching birds too. Saw a group of geese flying north yesterday...then wondered, shouldn't they be flying south? Maybe they missed their offramp and had to back track :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunflower.
Such a beautiful backyard! Lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view to enjoy while sitting to stitch a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove sweet potatoes. Love biscuits. Great combo! Adorable little Halloween stitchery. We're having Indian Summer this coming week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried to grow sweet potatos yet, but there are so many recipes for them. What are you going to do with your seasonal stitchery?
ReplyDeleteWow! That's great on the sweet potatoes. Mine were all eaten from underneath this year. Couldn't believe it!
ReplyDeleteLovely view from your patio and those biscuits sure look tasty.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful view for some slow stitching! A perfect fall project! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteYummmm....I love sweet potatoes! I think the biscuits look scrumptious! =)
ReplyDeleteMy husband's favorite way to eat sweet potatoes is to peel and cut them up, add about 1/3 cup olive oil and one package of lipton onion soup mix. Bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes. Everyone that has tried that likes it. He is so glad it sweet potato time again.
ReplyDeleteLots of gorgeous things in this post. Love that little stitched bat.
ReplyDeleteWhat you call biscuits we call scones and i am quilte reknown for them! Try cutting them with a smooth round cutter (I've heard the wavy edges inhibit rising) and put them butting up against each other on the tray -- that way they've got nowhere to go but up!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of sweet potatoes. But with your recipe I might learn to like it. I'm curious of how it'll taste.
ReplyDeleteSweet potatoes are a specialty here. Looks very good what you made with them.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely place to stitch.
It looks and sounds like you had the makings of a perfect day Carrie!
ReplyDeleteoh wish I lived close I would be begging for some sweet potatoes!!!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is fun, fun, fun! And you are 100% correct on that flower...perfection....what a beautiful flower. I needed that today...thanks!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,

We just had some NC sweet potatoes from the farmers market last night, yum. I love sweet potato biscuits, especially with peach jam, yum!
ReplyDeleteCute stitching, I'm working on that one too!
I love to sit outside and do anything or nothing. Unfortunately my current neighbors have yapping dogs that don't realize that I'm allowed to sit on my patio in peace :-(
ReplyDeleteLove the BOO stitchery! Off to download....!
You are really talented!
ReplyDeleteAnd those biscuits look yummy.
