It's February.  WOW! Where has the time gone.
 I feel as if I blinked and January was over.  Just like that.

Years ago, I would never have thought of combining sweet potatoes and something green and now, I do it all the time, and it is good. Your combo looks great. Thanks for sharing with My Meatless Mondays.
