Sweet Potato Mash and Casserole

6 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
1/2 cup of butter
2 squirts of honey
1 tsp of nutmeg

Boil the sweet potatoes in water until tender. Drain and mash them with the butter, honey and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Casserole which is so easy I almost never serve them mashed. Preheat the oven to 350. Use the mash above but add:

1/2 Cup of brown sugar
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1/2 cup of almond milk (or another vegan milk choice)

Mix all the ingredients above to the mashed sweet potatoes. Cook for 25-30 minutes until fluffy and golden. Delicious!

You can add 1/2 cup of pecans if you like but it doesn't really need if you don't have it handy.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Four ingredients and a quick cookie recipe! This is not my original recipe but is a simple recipe you can find all over the internet. I just added the dairy free chocolate chips.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You'll need:

2 cups of smooth peanut butter
2 cups of white sugar
4 eggs
10 ozs (1 bag) of Enjoy Life chocolate chips. 

In a large bowl combine the peanut butter, sugar and eggs. (A quick trick is to spray your measuring cup with cooking spray before measuring out the peanut butter that way it won't stick to your measuring cup). Mix well until it's smooth and well blended. Stir in Chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. I baked mine about 14 minutes total. (I make large cookies!)

Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rake.  Cookies will be chewy and soft. Enjoy!
