Tasty Tuesday

These carrot cake muffins were a big hit with everyone.  It satisfies a carrot cake craving without being so bad for you.

Cream Cheese Carrot Cake Muffins

Filling
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar

Muffins
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup water
1 cup grated carrots


This is more of a method than a recipe.  The boys aren't crazy for baked sweet potatoes, but they liked these.  These potatoes were super with our pork kabobs.  We will totally be making these more often.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt

Wash and peel sweet potatoes.
Slice into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Toss with olive oil, salt, and any other desired seasonings.  We used arbol chili powder (it was a great contrast to the sweetness of the potato).
Grill over medium heat 3-6 minutes each side.
