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!

This was done on the Next Food Network Star last year. I thought it was really cool and interesting!

I’ve had grilled Caesar at a restaurant before. It’s definitely interesting and a unique dish to serve at a cookout!
I love grilled romaine! This looks delicious!
what a perfect use for your dressing!!
These look wonderful. I love Caesar Salad but have never done it on the grill. What a tempting idea. My husband loves his Weber and he’s been grilling on the same one for 15 years now…still working/grilling like a charm. Enjoy yours.
This looks wonderful! The husband and I just recently got a grill, yay! I can’t wait to try this out 🙂
