Sweet Potatoes with Pecans and Goat Cheese

Submitted by ktboogie on

Hey Fellow CSA Members,

The below link is a recipe from Smitten Kitchen, a wonderful and reliable NYC food blog. It made me hungry just reading the recipe! Order some goat cheese from Lewis Waite Farms and you can find local shallots and celery (or use stalks from the pak choi or tatsoi as a sub) and make this yummy looking recipe as a change up from the usual sweet potato preparations.
