I chop 2-3 large onions. In a deep, heavy (12" 5qt) skillet I heat about 1/4c ghee and then add the onions. I give them a 10min head start and then add the sweet potatoes. I keep the heat fairly high and try to get mid way between slightly browned and just very soft. I don't cook with olive oil any more if I can help it. It is a polyunsaturate oil, oxidized and changed by heat. I also don't like the taste of cooked olive oil. Ghee (or butter if you are ok with a little dairy protein) or coconut oil are my choices for this sort of thing. The sauce is about 1/2T chipotle puree, 1/8c maple syrup and 1/4c ghee. It is delicious. I peel then dice 2-3med sweet potatoes and parboil them (put them in a pot covered with water, bring to a boil and simmer until just barely tender, then drain).

Just want to say that I managed to finish the workout today, named 'Kelly,' I think, thanks to Jenny. She is awesome! She kept me going with words of encouragement. At one point I said "I can't do this." She said "I don't want to hear that. Look! You're doing it!" And, she ran with me for the last round, which really helped. I felt sooo good at the end for being able to say that I did it. Thanks to Carl and Jen and all the trainers at Crossfit. I am feeling so much better physically and mentally. I'm finally taking care of my body, thanks to you guys! This is not a paleo potluck comment. Just want to say that I managed to finish the workout today, named ‘Kelly,’ I think, thanks to Jenny.
