delicious dish

I love spending time in the kitchen this time of year when it is too cold for me to play outside. My mother made a yummy salad for our Thanksgiving dinner this year:

2 sweet potatoes, cubed
1/2 red onion, sliced
baby spinach
lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper

Spread the sweet potatoes and onion on a pan and cover with olive oil, salt & pepper. Mix it around so everything gets coated. Roast at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes. The potatoes will be nice and tender and the onions will be slightly crispy. Place on top of a bed of baby spinach, add 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice and a pinch more salt. Delicious!
