We have been on a pretty big sweet potato kick lately. It is a fairly new found love as Cassie is a reformed picky eater and was pretty sure she didn't like sweet potatoes for the longest time. It is pretty amazing how she has gone from not liking anything to now liking just about everything.
Anyway, back to sweet potatoes and this stew...We found this recipe and it looked like a really easy, but hearty dish for a fall evening. It is filling and warm, but still healthy and not too heavy. We substituted red wine and red wine vinegar for white wine and white wine vinegar because that is what we had in the house and they both added a great full flavor to the meal.
