Add subtle sweetness and a little spice to your next meal with these roasted sweet potatoes tossed in savory seasonings.
The last day of school has come and gone. Monday Blues are now a thing of the past. See ya! For the first time in months I was able to sleep in this morning and function without a cup of coffee. Now that’s a miracle my friends and calls for celebration. I could get used to this. Is it possible to apply for a summer extension? Ten weeks just doesn’t suffice and I’m sure every kid out there would agree. Most families thrive on structured schedules full of activities and planned play dates to pass the time, but we’re more than willing to stray from the rules for some rest and relaxation. After all, that’s what the mini break is all about – soakin’ up the sunshine with a stress-free attitude. It might as well be the motto of the season!
With the arrival of summertime comes frequent gatherings with friends and backyard BBQ parties by the pool. It’s the ideal opportunity to steal the show with side dishes no one expects to see at the table. Cue this scrumptious sweet potato dish that has your name all over it.
