Oven Roasted sweet potatoes
This oven roasted sweet potato recipe is extremely easy, so delicious, and a perfect in season side dish to any autumn meal. It’s also a fun dish to make with your littles. For this particular meal I had my sweet mini me helping me add seasonings and mix up the potatoes.
get the kids involved
I love when I’m able to get my kids in the kitchen helping me. This is a skill I’m still working on, but when they’re in there mixing and dumping ingredients (mostly) in the right place, it truly warms my heart. Not only are they getting important life skills, but they are WAY more willing to try new foods if they’ve helped prepare it.
We have two picky eaters and one that will eat or try just about anything. I’m completely convinced that it’s in large part due to how we fed them their first couple years of life… but that’s a story for another post ;). Anytime I can get my picky eaters to try new foods I’m absolutely delighted. It brings hope to my soul that we haven’t completely screwed them up, lol! If you have picky eaters too, try having them help you prepare snacks and meals and see if they’ll try more things. I bet they will.
