But if you're wondering, taste it as you add, then only add as much as tastes good. Hope this helps!</i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-67193163893446336582009-11-03T11:31:02.614-06:002009-11-03T11:31:02.614-06:00Thanks, Alanna, for your help and quick reply. I ...Thanks, Alanna, for your help and quick reply. I actually don't mind making allergen-friendly meals; it encourages me to be creative and healthy and keep everyone safe. Equally important is that it forces otherwise the limited palates of certain family members to try something new. :) I do, however, make a TON of food in the hopes that everyone will have a few things that they like (and the leftovers are always eaten within a few days, repurposed, or frozen).<br /><br />If I made this sweet potato and banana puree without any topping at all, would you still bake it? Or be done after adding nutmeg and salt? I wonder about how alcoholy it would taste... :P~Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022756326428884844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-11095095622179104242009-11-03T11:09:52.044-06:002009-11-03T11:09:52.044-06:00~ M ~ So many things to consider when working with...<i>~ M ~ So many things to consider when working with multiple food allergies, my goodness. I think this would taste fine if you skipped the topping but wouldn't have the 'finished' look that a topping provides. What about, hmm, maybe chopping up dried banana chips? Or maybe toasted pumpkin seeds? That said, it is really about the sweet potatoes and bananas and so, yes, go with that. Good luck, let me know how it goes!</i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-91088386395935830372009-11-03T11:01:57.981-06:002009-11-03T11:01:57.981-06:00Hi Alanna,

When we lived in Massachusetts, my husband's favorite fish dish (coconut encrusted haddock) was served with mashed sweet potatoes that had sliced bananas in it. I'd love to make a version at home.<br /><br />How would this be without any topping? I'm gluten-free so bread/panko is not an option and my father-in-law, who will be joining us for Thanksgiving, is nut-free.<br /><br />I think I may roast the potatoes in my crockpot overnight - they are SO good that way and sweet and don't take up a burner; so I will probably be able to omit the brown sugar and hopefully some of the butter too (and I may sub coconut milk instead for a more tropical flair that's dairy-free).<br /><br />If you have any suggestions for making this more allergy-friendly, that'd be great!~Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022756326428884844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-78668639044533186622008-11-19T09:32:00.000-06:002008-11-19T09:32:00.000-06:00Dana ~ You've got it.

That said, there'd be nothing wrong with popping it into the oven for 30 minutes, say, to keep hot while waiting for the rest of the meal to finish.Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-49546871775913014042008-11-19T09:17:00.000-06:002008-11-19T09:17:00.000-06:00I think I'm missing something.

If I'm planning to serve it immediately, do I just top the hot sweet potato mixture with the nuts and serve?<BR/><BR/>Thanks - this sounds really good!<BR/><BR/>-DanaChampsleevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491861477591172203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-75504627200391536472008-11-07T09:06:00.000-06:002008-11-07T09:06:00.000-06:00That's a combination I would never have even thoug...That's a combination I would never have even thought about - but if you like it, then it must be good, sweetie :)Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-66075406833154359522008-11-06T23:19:00.000-06:002008-11-06T23:19:00.000-06:00They have something like this on the hot bar at Wh...They have something like this on the hot bar at Whole Foods.
