Baked sweet potatoes
There’s something very special when I think about my mother growing up, apron on cooking in the kitchen, because she took cooking for her family quite seriously. She took it to heart and wanted well-balanced meals for my dad and her 3 girls. My mom baked a lot of sweet potaotes!
Move forward another 40+ years, and I see myself doing as my mother taught me. Cooking for my family! (Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary, pork loin, sweet orange carrots, with my apron on from Ali–one of my favorite bloggers at Gimme Some Oven.)
Food that keeps a family together
Sadly, we live in a time where people are so busy, we opt to buy prepared meals, or eat out-on the run. Sometimes we barely get the table set. I know, because I was that busy mom for many years.
It’s love and food that keeps a family together, along with community, faith, courage, and grit.
Homemaking and good old-fashioned cooking, is a way to nourish our family’s souls and hopefully keep us connected at the hip. Tight, strong, an act of love. And so much happens around the family table!
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary
Lately we’ve been enjoying roasted sweet potatoes (or sometimes yams). Leaving the skins on, they are crisper on the outside, because they are rubbed with olive oil, coarse salt, and a light touch of pepper.
Then the specialty is finely chopped, fresh rosemary sprinkled on top!
They are so sweet and delicious, you don’t even need butter.
Delicious.
I’m glad I grew up with baked potatoes. It’s a good memory, watching that butter and sour cream melt all over the potato and dinner plate, probably running in to meatloaf or a hamburger patty, or a piece of chicken.
Or, have you tried roasting them with your favorite cheese grated on top? Oh, boy!
Enjoy!

I made this tonight. My daughter recommend this recipe . She was right when she said that they were yummy. They are so good! The rosemary marries so well with the potato. Even my husband, who is not a sweet potato fan, said that this was the best sweet potato he has ever had! This is a keeper!

I finally had the opportunity to make these roasted sweet potatoes yesterday and they turned out perfectly! I was excited to use some of my rosemary growing in the flowerbed! I also made the roasted chicken with grapes…yummy too!
1) These look delicious- love that first pic. 2) I agree that as a whole, our country needs to cook more.
I do have to try this some time although its really hard to give up using a tad of butter on my roasted sweet potatoes and a ton of cinnamon. :)
Oh yum, these look delicious! Thanks for the reminder of how special and important home cooked meals are too!
Mmm, rosemary! What a great idea…the cheese too.
Nan
Rosemary is my favorite herb for potatoes! Looks like a great recipe!
So simple, yet so very good! I bet Land O Lakes’ cinnamon sugar spread – just a touch – would be perfect on those potatoes.
I love *any* veggies roasted that way – had bliss potatoes, carrots and onions Monday night (even on a weeknight, it’s possible to have a great dinner).
I like oregano sprinkled on roasted sweet potatoes. I want to try your recipe with the rosemary, it sounds delicious:-)
YUM!! Sweet Potatoes are my favorite. These look awesome!
LOVE sweet potatoes! I bet the rosemary is fantastic with it!
