"Not only delicious, but the presentation is just beautiful."
- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 2 cups red grapes (seedless preferred)
- 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil or 1 teaspoon oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 ounces goat cheese or 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons honey (raw if possible)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- honey, for drizzling
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; use a fork to poke some holes in each sweet potato, then wrap in aluminum foil.
- Bake until tender, about 45 to 60 minutes; unwrap, slit down the middle of each potato and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, increase heat to 450 degrees F; place grapes on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Roast until they begin to burst, 20 to 25 minutes; remove and let cool.
- By now the sweet potatoes should be cool enough to handle, so use a spoon to gently remove the flesh while leaving the skins intact; mash potatoes with 3 ounces of goat cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and honey.
- Taste for seasoning, then scoop flesh back into skins (re-heat in oven if desired), top with remaining goat cheese, add grapes, and drizzle with honey.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
