Sweet Potato Casserole, Collards, & Salmon

I am loving the cookbook "Paleo Comfort Foods!"  Recently I made their Sweet Potato Casserole and it was wonderful!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 pounds (900 grams) sweet potatoes: red garnet, jewel, beauregard, or white sweet potatoes
1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened canned coconut milk (not the watered down kind sold in an aseptic carton)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (avocado or coconut oil would also work)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon zest (or sub orange zest)
sea salt and pepper, to taste (I used 1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper)
1/2 cup (50 grams) chopped pecans

*I also added 1-2 TBSP honey and 1/4 C chopped raisins

Coconut, avocado, or olive oil or clarified butter or ghee to coat baking pan

1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into equal-sized cubes. Place all in large sauce or stock pot, cover with water, and boil until potatoes are very tender. Note: I changed this step. I rinsed the sweet potatoes, baked them on a dry, rimmed baking sheet in a 400˚F toaster oven until tender and squishy, turning them over after 30 minutes. Do not add water. No foil needed.
2. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
3. Drain potatoes and return to pot. (Note: There will be nothing to drain if you baked them whole. In this case, peel them, then mash.) Using a handheld mixer (this really improves the texture), blend in coconut milk.
4. Add eggs, vanilla, oil (or butter), cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest. Taste and add sea salt and pepper, if desired.
5. Place sweet potato mixture into a 9x9 Pyrex pan, or oval baker. (I used a deep dish pie plate.)
6. Sprinkle crushed pecans on top.
7. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

We also enjoyed Collard Greens with our meal.  Oh, I just love them.  I didn't use a recipe for this, but they are simple to make.  Just wash and then cut leaves off stems.   I used some leftover bacon grease (Always have some handy!) to sautee some onion.  I added in the sliced greens and some chicken stock.  Cover and simmer for a while :-)  I know, that's a terrible recipe and instructions.
