A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Sweet Potato Orange + Leek Side Dish

Sometimes the best mistakes are the greatest creations. My friends invited me to a winter pot luck in October and hours before the pot luck I realized I needed to make something. Using the creativity of my pantry, I grabbed whatever ingredients I had left in my produce basket in hopes of making a delicious side dish. 

And well, this side was successful. Sweet yet savory. Light but filling. The abundance of orange colored vegetables in your diet nourishes us with much-needed vitamins during the season of hibernation.

Winter produces this type of harvest for a reason. A mixture of roots with a tad of sweetness of life from a tree, here is one vegan and dairy free side dish to enjoy this winter and holiday season. 

Spiritually, it's the best of both ends of a tree. Roots that are firmly grounded with branches that flow with the wind, this side dish is the integration of earth and air. I wish you a happy holiday season and best of luck this New Year.
