- 6 medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled, halved lengthwise
- salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 375.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and oil. Rub the potato halves with this mixture and season with salt and pepper. Arrange, skin side down, in a shallow baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften.
Remove the pan from the oven and turn the sweet potatoes skin side up. Tuck the cinnamon sticks under the potatoes. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes longer or until the potatoes are cooked through and the cinnamon sticks are slightly browned.
Serve the sweet potatoes on a round platter with the browned cinnamon sticks bunched together and standing upright in the center of the platter.

Posted by JasonQ in Main Dishes, Pork on August 18th, 2009
Fall is almost here, so I thought I would start looking for some good seasonal recipes. I found this delicious looking recipe at About.com.
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins
Preheat the oven to 400°. Place the pork tenderloin in a roasting pan or casserole dish. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir. Spoon the apple mixture around the pork tenderloin. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove the lid and spoon the apple mixture over the tenderloin. Return to the oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until pork tenderloin is browned and cooked through. A meat thermometer in the center should register at least 150° to 160°.
Serves 4.
