I am so excited to announce that my sweet potato fillo rolls won the runner up prize in the sugar-free category of the Sweet n’Healthy recipe contest. Yey! This was the very first time I submitted recipes to a contest. I’d say it is a good start.  

Thank you, North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission, for noticing and awarding my recipe. Thank you, my dear friend Galya, for the great recipe idea. You are as much a winner as I am! Thank you, dear readers, for sticking with me and coming back for yet another sweet potato recipe.  And most importantly, thank you Aaron, for suffering through a whole month of eating nothing but sweet potatoes. I can’t promise that I am not going to do it again though.

Also, congratulations to the other 5 winners.  I am proud to be in such a talented company. I can’t wait to try your recipes as well. Sweet potato linguine, what a great idea. Mexican flavored sweet potato salad, any day. Cheese straws, the grown-ups in our house would love them too. Spicy scones, I am making those this weekend. Kid-friendly tacos, will keep those in mind when little ones are visiting.

And now dear friends, I need your help.  My prize is a $200 gift certificate from Williams Sonoma. There are so many great buys there that my head is spinning. So please give me suggestions on how to best spend these $200. What would you buy?

And please come back for new spring recipes. I promise there will be no sweet potatoes for a while.
