GRILLED SWEET POTATO WITH GARLIC BUTTER & THYME

 So I have made this snack 3 times since I discovered it... 3 days ago. Only a few ingredients, so tasty and soooomewhat healthy! This was one of the dishes Amy and I were considering for our Thanksgiving Dinner but it ended up not making the cut so I had six sweet potatoes on my hands! I didn't have rosemary so I just used some Thyme and it was delicious. The first time it was for my boyfriend and I as an appetizer, but I ended up eating the whole first batch myself. Whoooops.

 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large (2 small) sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp finely diced fresh rosemary
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• sea salt, sprinkled on top

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds and place on foil sheet.
2. Melt the butter in a bowl and add the chopped rosemary and garlic.
3. Stir and spoon/drizzle on each round.
4. Lightly salt the tops.
5. Place on grill and cook on low, about 5 minutes each side.

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Oh my goshhhh. As soon as I tasted these I knew this would be something I would be making regularly. It's such a quick and easy recipe too. These are super fluffy little cookies, almost like the top of a muffin, so not really like a cookie at all! They are also very orange, it's not just a weird picture :).

They taste just like fall; dead leaves, wind and Halloween! Exactly what I expect of all my recipes!
