This roasted sweet potato and cauliflower “rice” side dish is an easy and delicious combo. It’s a bit zesty, a little spicy, and a lot flavorful! Pair these veggies with chicken, fish, eggs or even meatballs for a complete meal. It tastes wonderful cold too!
Meanwhile, I have an intention to invest more time in my blog this year, even if it’s only a little bit more. I enjoy having this space to share and miss doing so on a more regular basis. Last year was challenging in many ways and stepping back was necessary for me. Some challenges still continue, but things are evolving. Coming back around, I think blogging will be quite nurturing and I look forward to it.
Enjoy!
