I LOVE YAMS !

Yams right now are 79 cents a pound at King ranch Supermarket and 1.49 a pound at my nearby Stater Bros. market. I bought these 2 big ones... which ended up weighin 3 pounds all together...so $2.40. The 4 pictures here are

1.the whole yams,

2. then how I cooked them...I scrubbed them and sliced them in thick chunks and steamed them. You can bake them but it takes an hour, whereas steaming goes faster.

3. after they cool, take off skins and slice them and put them in a container to be stored in the fridge.

4. And here is breakfast today (sliced tomatoes, yams, and some hot chili beans!) I love having cooked yams always available in my fridge. I will be using them in my meals all week.


I look forward to Thanksgiving season when these wonderful tubers will be on sale.
