Are you looking for an insanely easy, exceptionally delicious and healthy meal that you can literally THROW TOGETHER?! Ok, not literally. Throwing food almost never works for making things delicious unless it’s pizza dough. But you get the idea. This dish is so simple and shockingly tasty. I mean, I was shocked. When I started it I thought I might’ve had an idea that was headed south faster than the snowbirds in January. BUT. BUT. BUT!!!! Yes, three buts. I was SO wrong. Make it! Please, please make it. Then photograph it and share it with me on Instagram (hashtag #ahouseinthehills) It will make my week. It’s seriously the best thing since this salad when you guys share your kitchen adventures with me, I get huge amounts of satisfaction from it. Probably weird amounts. Not creepy-werid, good weird. OK! I’ll go now. xx- Sarah

This looks amazing! You make me want to cook (which I rarely do because I still live with my parents ups) lol Great post as always xo
I'm whole-heartedly and admittedly addicted to roasted sweet potatoes. I love the crunchiness from the pecans. This looks amazing!!!
Lucis Morsels fashion. food. frivolity.
this looks SO delicious! Sweet potatoes always end up being too sweet for me (ha!) but with the red onions, shallots etc it's sounds just PERFECT! Can't wait to try it
Okay, okay, okay…I will give this a shot with a twist. I am going slice my sweet potatoes thinner and drizzle the dish with balsamic. My little one is balsamic junkie and I am stocked with a few different balsamic bottles (all containing the grape must without caramel or sugars added of course.)
What a great way to prepare sweet potatoes, love it!
What an interesting idea- totally inspired to try! xx
Sarah- Would you write a post on what you eat in a typical day? You obviously have a great body. I'm wondering about portion size and hitting all of the vegan essentials, etc.
Your lighting on your photos is amazing! What kind of light do you use? If any. Also what type of camera. I am looking to improve my photos and I really admire your gorgeous photos if you can share any tips of your genius I would be most appreciative….come say hi to me at lollipopsicle.net!
I love this dish! I've now made it 3 times, serving it overtop a bed of spinach & adding goat cheese on top. The goat cheese melts on the warm sweet potatoes, and it is divine. Thanks for a great recipe!
Keep the layout you have ‘ One of the quickest ways to increase the cost of
a kitchen remodel is by changing up the layout. – Immediate access to a
gorgeous deck or patio outdoors also adds to the return. Other technological advancements include the development of sensors that
allow buildings to know the strength of tremors and respond appropriately, including
the activation of tremor or movement damper systems that act like
shock absorbers, letting buildings withstand stronger
tremors without collapsing.
Hmm these look delicious, thanks for posting up this recipe, looks quite simple to make.
