I’ve really grown to love sweet potatoes – I’m not sure what it is about them that I didn’t like before but now I prefer them over regular potatoes most of the time. My usual go to snack is bacon wrapped sweet potatoes, they are great for holding me over before a meal or a meal on the go! ha. Anyhow I decided to mix things up a bit and go without my regular bacon and add some chimichurri. Umm… hello yummy!
