Smokey Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Kelby (the love of my life/ the guy who makes me belly laugh daily/ best friend) used to hate sweet potatoes. I tried every preparation that I could think of… baked, mashed with honey and pecans, plain mashed, etc. It was a sad time. I did not want to make two different types of potatoes forever and I could not give up my beloved sweet potatoes. So, I tried to roast them with a delicious smokey spicy mix. The verdict: he absolutely loves them! This is the only way he will eat them.  If you have a sweet potato hater in your life, try this super simple side dish.

Creamy Vegan Lentil Soup

I did not intend for this soup to be vegan. That was just a happy coincidence. I’ve had a bag of red lentils just sitting in my pantry for a while now…maybe 6 months? I bought them on an ooh-this-week-I’m-going-to-eat-super-super-healthy kind of a whim. Sadly, they ended up pushed behind a box of whole wheat fusilli… until this week. I also had a bag of carrots to either eat or pitch that day. (I hate throwing away food!) And so, this delicious, creamy soup was created out of pantry items. Oh, and its super quick and easy. Yay for accidental vegan meals!
