These days I am all about quick’n easy dinners like this Sheet Pan Salmon that I made last week, One Pot Pastas and Slow Cooker recipes. The reason is pretty simple; time. Yah, this thing called -time, which apparently learned how to fly. I am trying really hard not to freak out worry too much or get lost in between projects, commitments and definitely trying to have fun.

Truth is January has been rough but at the same time incredibly amazing. At any time when these two opposite emotions are present in your life, chances are -it will wipe you out, cuz you go from feeling really happy to super worried or whatever. No biggie!

My point is, this week I made an incredibly simple recipe for you (and I). How simple? oh, just look below and you will see!

Ingredients 

  • 1 large sweet potato cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees.
