Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Beets
Holy pink deliciousness! These mashed sweet potatoes with beets are amazing. And just LOOK at that color! The cooked green onions on the top really enhance the flavor of the mashed sweet potatoes and beets.
Hubby ate these in his lunch for a couple days. He said some of the guys at work asked him quite a few questions about the pink food… We both really liked these and I can’t wait to make them again.
Don’t forget about my Power of Pink Challenge – make something PINK by the end of the month to raise Breast Cancer Awareness!

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Edamame + avocado = winning my heart. We just planted our soy beans a few days ago so come August, I am all over this recipe!

Growing your own edamame sounds amazing. I’m just re-learning how to take care of a yard and dreaming of a garden at some point. I might have to try growing some too.
Wow, such an lovely salad with great combinations !
