Sweet Potato Apple Pie With Spelt Crust, Sugar Free Option
Sweet Potato Apple Pie with Spelt Crust, Sugar Free Option Apples and sweet potatoes are two of my all time favorite foods and did you know they make a good marriage too? I discovered that cooked apples and roasted sweet potato blend together to make a pie thats way better than pumpkin and so much easier to make if you want everything from scratch. This pie has body, natural sweetness and when baked in a whole grain spelt pie crust, its amazingly good. Spelt is an ancient grain thats got a lower glycemic count than regular wheat, is easier to digest and edible for many people who are gluten sensitive. I like it because it tastes good. Its nutty. I love pie and so do the people in my life, but we are all very mindful of our health and what we are eating. If Im not eating paleo (no grain at all), I like to find ways to cut sugar and eat as minimally processed as possible. You could make this pie with my regular pie dough recipe, but if youre here looking for some new ways to make old desserts, give the spelt flour a try. Ive been baking with spelt flour for some time, so Im used to it and how it performs. It absorbs more liquid than all purpose flourand I wanted to make sure the crust didnt get too tough. I replaced 1/4 of the butter with cream cheese, and the result is perfect. I throw that word perfect around a lot when it comes to pie crust, because its something I can make blindfolded. The good news here is that spelt dough is just as easy to work with and while it has a darker color which might be off putting, that color is what wheat should look like, so just know youre eating food with more nutritional benefits. The following picture is made with all purpose flour, accounting for the difference in color. I always stick with gala apples because they remain sweet an Continue reading >>

Type 2 diabetes is different from type 1 diabetes in many ways. As its alternate name of adult-onset diabetes implies, it is usually only found in adults. However, the rate of children acquiring the disease is going up. Type 2 diabetes is also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes due to the fact that, unlike type 1, insulin injections are not always required for treatment. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas either doesn't produce any insulin, or the insulin that is produced is not properly utilized. This is due to a condition known as insulin resistance, which prevents key parts of the body (such as muscle, fat and the liver) from responding to insulin as they should. Insulin resistance means that sugar never makes it into the cells where it can be used for the body's energy needs. Instead, massive levels of it build within the bloodstream. Type 2 diabetes has a gradual onset Type 2 diabetes also differs from its younger counterpart in that onset can be very slow, lasting for years. The gradual progression is typically not noticed by the individual until the condition becomes full-blown. Being overweight helps the disease to develop faster. Genetics can also play a part in the likelihood of diagnosis. If a parent is diabetic, the chances of a child also becoming diabetic increases as much as threefold. People who smoke and drink large amounts of alcohol are also putting themselves at increased risk. If the disease is not managed correctly Continue reading >>

Patti Labelle-style Sweet Potato Pie
I purchased a sweet potato pie today from Walmart's. It is the worst pie I have tasted in a long time. It had too much flour and made the potatoes too light,no real sweet potato taste. I have had much better tasting pies than this and will not purchase one again. I followed this recipe, reducing the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. After 30 mins I topped the pie with a mix of chopped pecans and brown sugar. Got rave reviews from everyone. Will be making this again next time... I used this recipe last year (and using a modified version this year). I like it for the most part. This year I will not be adding the brown sugar to the bottom of the crust; it cause my pie to stick to the bottom of the pan. And as another person mentioned, I roast my sweet potatoes rather than boil them (Mom's voice), they hold less water that way. Poorly written recipe. For example, they tell you to divide already melted butter. it's possible but not easy. There's just not enough liquid in the filling. The sweet potato pie in this site calls for 3 eggs and 3/4 cup milk. This one calls for 2 eggs and 1/4 cup milk. The consistency of the filling is mashed potatoes. The crust shrunk and bubbled up after the first bake. The directions should have been to dock and brush with melted butter AND THEN refrigerate, NOT refrigerate and then brush with the melted butter. I should have known the melted butter will heat up my carefully chilled crust. Did Epicurious test this recipe? How disappointing! Good recipe. Instead of boiling, I roast my sweet potatoes.....just my grandma's voice in my head. Delicious! This is going to be my go to Pumpkin Pie. Continue reading >>
