Ohhh! I like the sweet potatoes! It’s incredible dish, and the artichokes also made me salivate, I missed the fresh one, here have just the frozen one, I like it in salad with vinegar dressing.
We have them also pickled here, they are nice for pizza. Thank you so much my Dear, I am glad you like it 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇
That´s looks yummy!
Great recipes for Veganuary. Thanks for sharing :)
My pleasure I am glad you like it and thank you for stopping by 🌿💚🌿
oh my goodness...this looks divine!!😍
Thank you so much, I am very happy you like it 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇
That looks absolutely amazing, my friend. Which is really not a surprise since you always share delicious dishes such as this one. I have to get more of sweet potato in my life no doubt. :)
Thank you for sharing. Have an amazing day as always. XOXOXO
Thank you so much Durko for stopping by 🌿💚🌿
I have no doubt this is a meal you would really enjoy. I don't know how in Italy, but in Canada sweet potato is very cost effective and they are available everywhere.
I believe I saw them the other day in the store. I just did not buy them. Now I have all the reason to buy them from reading your amazing recipe. :)
That's awesome Durko, I have tons of recipes with sweet potatoes on my blog. If you need me to pick some more for you just let me know. I am sure eventually you will come up with your own............. once you realize how versatile and yummy they are 😉👌
Well, what can I say you know me better than anyone. I will probably do my cooking "experiments" with them. lol
Eventually, I will make a good recipe on my own. lol
Thank you, for your amazing help as always. :)
It's interesting Durko that we never met, but we know each other so well, lol. I look forward to see your sweet potato creation soon, I hope 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇
Well, I believe it has to do with a fact we are both direct and speak our minds. Even though it is over the internet. Plus we do know each other for more than 2 years I believe. Since TSU, after, and now on Steemit again. :)
I believe some people understand each other without knowing each for a long time. :)
I sure will think of something for sweet potatoes. My creative mind will not let me eat them plain. lol
That is very true Durko..............what I like most about you is that for such a young man you are very mature, wise and sensitive. You must be very old soul. I wish I was mature like you when I was your age, lol. But maybe it was not meant for me, because I would not be able to deal with the reality I was in at that time. Nevertheless, we all have different life path and the main thing is to learn the lessons along the way. All I can say at this point is that I am glad we stayed in touch and we are both here. Steemit is the ideal place for both of us XOXO
Yum! I have sweet potatoes on my weekly meal plan more often than not. Though artichokes have always intimidated me a bit. Perhaps I will eventually give your way of cooking them a try! 😀
Thank you so much my Dear, I am glad you like it and I bet you would love these artichokes 🌿💚🌿
In realizing I have never cooked an artichoke! I need to add one to my grocery list and try this!
I hope you will Dear Melinda, they are delicious. Thank you so much for stopping by 💚🌿💚
It's on my list for Thursday! I have been buying my grocery through an online app and my daughter the can just go through the drive up and pick them up for me. It's become too difficult to go to the store and this works slick!
Sounds great dear Melinda, I hope you will like them. Just remember, only the middle part is edible, but it's really delicious.
