Summer Grilling........Two Months Early

Grass fed chuck-eye steaks. Salted and peppered.

My grill is cheap and flimsy.

Resting.

Medium rare with mashed sweet potatoes and avocado, salsa, sour cream mix.

Sweet Potatoes with Salsa

The absence of gluten grains (or pretty much any grain for that matter) in my diet for the month of January (save a cheat day or three) has led to the embracing of the sweet potato.  Today I cooked up a version of a recipe from a Jaques Pepin cookbook.


Peel and slice the sweet potatoes.

Lay them in the pan. Add a half cup of water and a chunck of butter and bring to a boil. When water begins to evaporate check potatoes for browning.

Flip to brown the opposite side.

Serve with a generous scoop of whatever salsa you have on hand. I think this was a Green Zebra tomato salsa circa 2010. It has a good vinegar kick. Add a fried egg and you've got a gluten-free recovery snack.
