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 saw that recipe on Ashlee’s blog too and I wanted to make this. I’m glad you liked it so much. It looks delicious! I’m going to HAVE to try it now. YUM!
Wow. It looks amazing and yummy and delicious. Good recipe. I find artichoke very tasty. It is good for health. It is rich in iodine. It reduces cholesterol and improves blood circulation, it is also helpful for diabetic people. To get more information on artichoke, refer Artichoke Plants
