Fall is here and I for one am looking forward to a switch up in dining and baking. While I am a huge BBQ and grilling fan, it’s nearing slow cooker season, heartier meals and comfort food. Now comfort food doesn’t have to be unhealthy either. Check out this beautiful Honey Mustard Sweet Potato Salad, made using the Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Electric Spiralizer.
Inspired by an international pantry and family, I like to share a behind‑the‑scenes view of what it’s really like to cook for two people with different dietary needs – one a “big, bold flavors” kind of guy with a sweet tooth (that would be me), and the other a “big, bold flavors diabetic”. What you’ll also find coming from my kitchen are quick mid-week meals, comfort food goodness and tasty desserts. It’s all about balance and making food interesting, right?
Cooking and baking with “mixed diet” families in mind, my passion is to make meals that are every bit as delicious, health conscious and sometimes indulgent—because life’s too short to be bland!
That’s where using the Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 Spiralizer comes in handy. I love to use seasonal vegetables in salads and sometimes make them into the meal itself. For those of you with kids, I know sometimes getting them to eat their veggies can be a hassle, but even adults enjoy the look of spiralized vegetables. I know I do!
I decided to use sweet potato, zucchini, and yellow squash along with Brussels sprouts all tossed with honey, mustard, and bacon for one flavorful dish. Add a dash of sage and this is a winner!

I made this for dinner tonight and I just want to tell you that it was fantastic!! I wasn’t sure bout the craisins at first, but I’m so glad I added them. This is one of my new favorite side dishes!
