When you combine these ingredients…
You get the perfect sweet and savory side to dish to accompany pretty much any meal.
The truth is, I pretty much live on side dishes. Whenever I prepare a meal, I would rather have smaller portions of 4-5 different things rather than larger portions of 2-3 things.
I don’t get bored with food, but I get bored with the SAME FOOD. I’m a foodie, so I can’t just eat the same thing all the time 
When I saw that organic sweet potatoes were on sale for 99 cents a pound at Publix the other day, I loaded up my cart with about 10 of them. Yep, I cleaned them out!
My skin might turn orange this week, but I think it’s impossible for me to get tired of sweet potatoes.
They are natures candy…

I love putting cinnamon on my sweet potatoes. My mom makes a killer sweet potato casserole too that’s topped with coconut and walnuts.

Mmmm! Must.Try.Soon! I never slice my sweet ‘taters in rounds like that. That’s the fancy way Whole Foods slices theirs, too!

Oh, and I could not agree more. “I don’t get bored with food, I get bored with the SAME FOOD.” Definitely true. I think I need to make these sweet potatoes.

Those look so good – I want one for breakfast
I like baking sweet potatoes with maple syrup and cinnamon, or making them into spicy fries!
I love sweet potatoes in every form – baked, fries, mashed, pancaked – you name it! These look tasty.

Those look top notch! My favorite way to eat sweet potatoes is exactly the way you cooked them, roasted slices topped with cinnamon. I love how they are soft on the inside, but slightly crusted and (sometimes) caramelized on the outside.

I think my fav way is as pancakes… but honestly I LOVE them anyway.
Yum! Those look really good!! Just curious, but do you eat the skin too??
I love sweet potatoes! In fact, one of my favorite breakfasts now is to cut a sweet potato in half, cook it in the micro for 8 minutes, then top with cinnamon, raisins, and almond butter! Yum!!

honey + cinnamon + sweet potatoes were destined to be together, this i know for certain.
Oh, you know about my obsession with sweet potatoes! I love ‘em pretty much any way they come, but simply rubbed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and baked until soft might be my favorite way to eat them. These roasted sweet potatoes look pretty fantastic!

I think it’s near impossible for me to get tired of sweet potatoes, too! I am perfectly happy having one just baked as-is and dipped in hummus or BBQ sauce…but roasting them with honey and cinnamon? Now that sounds pretty fantastic, too.
