ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND RED ONION SALAD

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

    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.)

    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.

    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.
