Notes

To make on demand with pantry and freezer staples:
  • use whatever dried herbs you have on hand plus onion or garlic powder.
  • you can also bake, skin, and mash sweet potato to freeze and pull out whenever needed! 
I like to serve with a drizzle of syrupy balsamic, toasted pine nuts and  avocado over a lemon, arugula and radicchio salad, with a roasted vegetable and extra sweet potato!
