I’m so in love with this dinner. It’s making me feel nourished, satisfied and happy this evening. Half of the plate was covered in a mixed green salad with cauliflower, boiled egg, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onions, purple cabbage, chopped bacon and homemade croutons. I made another creamy dressing, which was so easy, it’s ridiculous that I haven’t made creamy dressings at home before. I placed about 4 T mayonnaise in a small jar with 1/3 C milk, about 1/4 (or more to taste) salt, dill, garlic powder, and cayenne. Place lid on jar and shake. The result is a very thin and flavorful dressing. A little goes a long way. The shrimp was tossed in cajun seasoning and cooked in the skillet with a little

olive oil and butter. The sweet potatoes were tossed with about 1 T. leftover bacon grease, sea salt, garlic and cayenne. They were roasted at 425 degrees for  20 minutes. They were fantastic. I think I prefer savory sweet potatoes so much more than sweetened ones. Oh! Thank you guys for the exercise recommendations here and on facebook today. I pulled out my resistance bands and did a lot of arm and leg work. I’m already starting to feel sore! We’re experiencing some major wind and below zero temperatures tonight! Time to break out my quilt and boil water for a mug of tea. What is your favorite way to prepare sweet potatoes?
