I was going through my fridge last night and wondering what I was going to cook up for dinner. I really wasn't in the mood for a BIG meal; however my taste buds were all over the place and in need of some satisfaction. I wanted something a little sweet, salty, spicy, and tangy. What would it be? I continued to look. There they were. The answer to my craving hiding in the very back of my fridge. Two medium size SWEET POTATOES. I was sold. Baked sweet potatoes it was. I decided to bake the sweet potatoes with a little olive oil, Kosher salt, and cayenne pepper and topped them with blue cheese crumbles and cilantro. Sweet, check. Salty, check. Spicy, check. Tangy, check. And a little bit of green, check. I was HAPPY and satisfied, CHECK.
