Sweet Potato Sky

I'm the lucky one!

 How incredible to wake up each morning but especially one particular November sunrise day, and say to myself aloud, "Wow... look at that sky!"

Most definitely to me, it looks like a 'sweet potato' sky. As you prepare for your Thanksgiving meal, will you be serving mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or both? Choices at dinner are always a good thing at our house. I have an easy recipe to share.

Sweet Potato Oven Baked Recipe

After I cut up the raw sweet potatoes into fries, I like to mix them with olive oil and Parmesan Cheese. Using a hot oven, let's say 400 degrees, keep an eye on them for about 20 mins. or so, stirring frequently on an aluminum foil cookie sheet. Kids love them, too!
