I'm gonna change up my blogging a little and start throwing in some recipes. I have become quite addicted to Pinterest, especially the recipes I find on there, & thought I would add some of my own. So, here's my first one: Garlic & Rosemary Sweet Potatoes. Growing up, I only knew sweet potatoes in two forms; sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top and sweet potato casserole with brown sugar & pecans on top. I did not care for either. I have started eating more healthy over the past few years, especially now that I have a child that I want to feed well. I know sweet potatoes are a good source of all kind of things our bodies needs, like vitamin A, but I didn't think I liked them...until I tried some my mother made. It sounded odd to put garlic & rosemary with sweet potatoes, but I tried it & loved it. My husband & son love them too, so now I make them quite often. It is a very quick, easy & cheap recipe.
3 Sweet Potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary
Preheat oven to 400. Peel potatoes & cut into cubes, about 1in. Place on a large baking sheet (the kind with sides.) Drizzle with olive oil & sprinkle on salt & pepper to taste. (I use course sea salt & fresh ground pepper.) Mix well with your hand until all potato cubes are coated with oil. Place all potatoes close together, but not on top of each other. Sprinkle minced garlic & rosemary evenly over potatoes. Cook for 30 - 40 minutes or until the inside of the potatoes are soft. Enjoy!
