Andrew’s out of town for a few days, so my youngest daughter and I have been on our own. With just the two of us, our meals have been a little more relaxed than usual.
Because Andrew took the camera with him (he’s at his cousin’s wedding, in England) I asked my daughter to take a picture of lunch on her phone to post here. And she obliged:
Should I have been more specific?
Yes, my fabulous lunch of sweet potatoes appealed to her so much, she opted for leftover takeout pizza rather than share my delicious homemade meal. (I’m still working hard, trying to convince her how awesome sweet potatoes are.) But with a little coaxing, she did indeed photograph my lunch, so I could share this wonderful recipe with you:
It doesn’t make up for missing a wedding, but it’s a start.
Congratulations to Sarah and Matt, the happy newlyweds. Hope to see you soon! xo

Funny, the pizza picture! I love sweet potatoes, so it would have been lunch for me as well. Have a great week!
Kids – the things they prefer to eat! Love sweet potatoes and have been know to eat them for many a good quick lunch. Great photos – cool wedding shot too.
My youngest son would have done the same. 🙂 I love this sweet potato dish, and will most probably try it tomorrow. I have a plethora of sweet potatoes of several different varieties and want to use them up!
My daughter doesn't love sweet potatoes either. But I do. I might have to try this.
Well, you can share your leftover sweet potatoes with me. These sound GREAT!
Well you can share your leftover sweet potatoes with me – these sound GREAT!
Beth, my son doesn't like sweet potatoes much and neither does my husband. I do manage to get sweet potatoes into stews and soups. Occasionally, I do a fried potato casserole sort of thing and if I'm sneaky, I can get a few into that dish. 🙂
If that's a picture your son took, I can see why he has the camera with him. Nice shot!

These sweet potatoes look delicious with almonds Beth!
oh Im sure my daughter have eaten the pizza lol
I dont understand why they love so MUCH pizza!
very funny about the pizza. nonetheless, your sweet potato dish looks terrific–a great combo with apples almonds onions and ginger!
HA about the pizza! But your lunch looks absolutely delicious – what a great combination of flavors and textures. YUM!
Hate to admit I might be with your daughter on this one. I've tried sweet potatoes in a bunch of recipes, but so far, my family and I have failed to find the love. Maybe one day 🙂
I'd be happy with either of your lunches but your sweet potato saute would definitely win out if I needed to choose 🙂
Funny about the pizza, but so true!
Love your sweet potato recipe. I could eat them three times a day.
Haha, i toally understand her I love, love pizza!!! But I love your sweet potatoes too!
Yum! I'm smitten with all things sweet potato!
I didn't use to like sweet potatoes but I love them now. I would much rather your lunch than the pizza 🙂
I love sweet potatoes… Thanks for sharing this recipe! Sounds so tasty!
I love sweet potatoes and had one at dinner this evening. They're so healthy. This dish sounds light and healthy. It's one I will be sure to add to my list of recipes to try.
Hi Beth, I bet this combination is delicious, sounds delicious!!!
Dear Beth, Relaxing a little with meals is good. It stirs the imagination for the future and gives ourselves a bit of a needed rest.
Sweet potatoes are so delicious and healthy at the same time.
Have a Happy Easter.
xoxo Catherine
I love the look of your sunny sweet potato dish – I would share!
You should use sweet potatoes as a pizza topping. 🙂 Lovely dish — sweet potatoes are one of my favorites! Thanks.
Nice sweet potato dish Beth, especially with apple and yes to almonds…looks delicious!
Hope you bare having a great week 🙂
haha – glad we got to see the sweet potato dish. I just finished lunch and it included a big Japanese sweet potato. I'm hooked on those things! I would need triple your lunch portion, Beth. ; )
I LOVE sweet potatoes! I am so with Monica, that small portion is never enough for me.
