Last weekend I went to New York City to visit a friend, which was a nice break after all of the mayhem I was experiencing here in Boston. We got brunch at Brinkley’s Station (60th and Lex) and I ordered the best veggie burger I’ve ever had in my life. It was chickpea and eggplant based, with a ginger miso sauce with crispy kale and cucumbers. It was divine, and if you’re ever in that area I highly recommend it. They also have a selection of seven different types of bloody mary’s to order with brunch, and you can’t make a wrong choice there. We sat in a cozy mezzanine away from the main floor, and in spite of the busy Sunday brunch crowd, we essentially had a private room. If you’re ever in the area, you have to stop by.

Baked Sweet Potato Chips

Making your own sweet potato chips is EXTREMELY easy.

  • 1-2 large sweet potatoes
  • a little olive oil
  • some salt
  • cinnamon (optional)

Thinly slice your potatoes, a mandoline works best but you can slice them by hand too. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt and cinnamon. Lay them out on a baking dish and bake at 425 for 25ish minutes. Check and shake the pan every ten minutes to make sure they don’t burn.

Sweet Potato Dal
(Adapted from the Everyday Happy Herbivore)

1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves
1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup lentils
1 cup vegetable broth
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
4 cups kale

1) Saute the onions and garlic in a pot lined with water.
2) Add spices, veggie broth and lentils. Bring to a boil, then simmer for five minutes.
3) Add sweet potatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer another 5-10 minutes.
4) Add kale and steam to preference.

Basically I just swapped the spices, and then kale for spinach in this recipes. But my kitchen smells amazing, and I feel a new favorite recipe coming on.
