I steamed 1lb of green beans and then tossed them with minced garlic, a touch of olive oil, and lots of salt. They were perfect! Why don't I do that more often? For the potatoes I sliced big russet potatoes about 1/2in thick (I left the skin on) and then rubbed them with herbs and olive oil. I found the herb combo here. I roasted them for 40 minutes at 425 flipping them half way. I also sprinkled them with parmesan cheese about 5 minutes before they were done. They were perfect for the steak juice.
I woke up this morning and did the usual Monday. Took squirrelly to school, drank a protein shake on the way to the gym, and did 45 minutes on the elliptical.
I had a perfect pear after the gym.
Sprinkled with cinnamon. Cinnamon and pear are one of those flavor combinations that just go together. Like peanut butter and jelly.
For lunch I made low and slow sweet potatoes. I've been reading KERF for a long time and this is one of those recipes I remember her doing. This method of cooking sweet potatoes is perfect. You really do get a pillowy soft potato with a crispy crust.
Cut the sweet potato into about half inch thick slices. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cook-
@350*- 30 minutes flipping halfway through
@400*- 20 minutes flipping halfway through
I topped mine with leftover baked beans, 2% cheddar, and greek yogurt. While I was making this the husband said it was weird and come to think of it the ingredients do seem a little weird. It really is good though!

Not sure if I have one favorite food blog recipe...as there are so many! It is usually were I get all my ideas though:)
@Sweet and Savory Eats Me too! I tend to get concepts from the blog world and make my own creations.
I like all the recipes on my blog (LOL!)...seriously though, there are way too many good recipes out there to choose just one...Mama Pea, healthygirl's kitchen and your site are favorites of mine.
I'll have to try the sweet potatoes . They sound yummy.
Despite being the cinnamon addict that I am, I don't think I've ever had it on pear! You've inspired me to try!
I've made Kath style sweet potatoes before and they truly are amazing! But I think that my favorite food blog recipe is Angela's (Oh She Glows) overnight oats and banana soft serve breakfast parfaits!
@Jamie @ Don't Forget the Cinnamon It's better on pears than on apples! I love the overnight oats and I love banana soft serve too! I need to make that more often.
oooh I'll definitely have to try making sweet potatoes like this!
I can't pick one recipe but I have to say that the blog world has created the most amazing oatmeal recipes!
Those sweet potatoes look amazing. YUM! I need to try that one this week.
I always get meh pears. When the perfect one comes across it totally makes my day. (Ridiculously simple pleasure, I know.)
Oh - everything looks delicious and your photo of the pear is beautiful!
@Baking Serendipity I've been buying organic pears and have had 3 bad ones in a row. I bought a couple ones that weren't organic and they were perfect. That's frustrating because the organics were a lot more expensive!

These look really good! I just read about your "Squirrel"- what an amazing little girl she is. I'm a mother of twins and spent my whole pregnancy worrying they'd end up in the NICU. Congrats on your beautiful, healthy children!
