                          i give you my favorite summer time recipe (which YES, i have made myself at least once): 
  Sweet Potato and Ginger Salad Serves 4; total time 45 minutes
   2½ lb sweet potatoes 1 tbl olive oil 2 tbl orange juice 1 tbl ginger, finely grated 2 teas Dijon mustard 3 scallions, thinly sliced
   Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Peel and cut 2½ lbs of sweet potatoes into ¾-inch chunks. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and on a baking sheet, roast until tender, about 35 minutes.
  In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, 1 tbl oil, ginger and mustard. Add scallions and potatoes. Toss to coat with dressing.

  I absolutely LOVE this salad, and could probably eat it every night. |
