Sweet potatoes!   Simply tossed with extra virgin olive oil, salt (or Veg-it), and chopped fresh herbs like  Oregano, Marjoram, Rosemary and Thyme.  Roasted at about 375°F   till cooked and a little caramelized.  And Viola!  Ready for me to enjoy.  I loved it!

I never liked sweet potatoes.  While I found sweet potato pie okay (a little too sweet for me),  I never cared for it.  In general, I hated it, especially when it was served at Thanksgiving meals.  Hated it.  Okay, maybe I should say I never liked the way they were prepared.

Well, I finally liked this dish, based on a suggestion from Christine Cooks.  Yay!  I liked that it was simple to make.  The taste was flavorful and enhanced by the fresh herbs.   A really nice meal.  Sweet potatoes will now be on my eating list.  

A while ago, I mentioned that Lydia of The Perfect Pantry was looking for people to host the Drop In & Decorate® holiday event, where you and your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers (everyone/anyone) get together and decorate cookies (like a cookie-decorating party) then donate the cookies to places serving people in difficult circumstances during the holiday season — places like an emergency shelter, local food pantry, senior center.  It’s started and been really successful so far.  If you have time, you can read an update about it and see fun photos here.

Have a good week, all.
