Baked Sweet Potatoes


How was your weekend Friends?

We enjoyed a game night that got pretty competitive. We were playing cards and it was the girls vs. the boys. I am happy to report that this time, the girls one. There is nothing like getting together with family and friends around the table to enjoy a good card game. Do you like to play cards?

Today’s recipe is an easy one for the upcoming holiday season. I love simple recipes like this one because I can use fresh vegetables and add a few ingredients I already have on hand to make a great seasonal side dish. I love to serve it with Thanksgiving dinner.

I also love the way all the flavors come together without adding extra sugar to this recipe. This allows the true flavors of the potatoes, dusted with herbs, to come through.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
