New week & New month!

Happy new month! How was everyone's long weekend? I made a super easy and delicious meal for my family over the weekend. Everyone voted for baked pasta and baked sweet potato.




The best thing about this baked sweet potato was the dipping sauce. I got the dipping recipe while watching Giada de Laurentiis' cooking show. Just added some chopped garlic and squeeze a little lemon juice on the mayonnaise! I also sprinkled some curry powder and salt on the sweet potato while baking. It made a huge difference! It's one of my not-so-secret recipes :)



Got lots of orders over the last weekend. I'm off to the the post office!! Have a great day :)
