Recipe and photos by Launie Kettler

We love a good sweet potato. Especially when it’s practically candied from maple syrup and has a touch of extra savory flavor from chili powder.

And we love a good apple, especially when it’s tossed with butter and warming spices. Ditto for kale, especially if you add a splash of apple cider vinegar.

And let’s not forget a well-seasoned batch of quinoa to round out the meal. So, when the autumn wind is howling at the window, throw a few delicious ingredients into a bowl and settle in under a blanket on the couch.

You deserve it.

But first, round up those ingredients, grab that F.N. Sharp Chef Knife and cutting board for some slicing and a paring knife for some coring and peeling and let’s dig in!
