Who has had the Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potatoes from Flower Child? These are among my favorite items on their menu and I had to recreate at home. Sweet, Spicy, & Paleo Friendly. It makes for the perfect combo!
I am a side dish kind of girl, and recipes like this make my heart happy. I would much rather eat an entire plate of side dishes than one entree. What about you?
