Holy heck, I haven't shown any signs of life on here in a while but trust me my dears I have been livin'! Work has consumed my life but it's wonderful so I don't mind it 95% of the time. I hope you all are well and take a looksy at the deliciousness that I cooked up! #ILoveFood

Ingredients:

1/2 lb of pasta (gluten free)

2 cups of cubed sweet potatoes

1/2 cup of onions

1/3 cup of green onions

1/3 cup of peanuts

2 tbsp of evoo

pinch of salt

pinch of pepper

1/2 cup of arugula

pinch of lemon juice 

Directions:

1. Boil the pasta until tender in a saucepan.

2. Cut up the sweet potatoes into 2 inch cubes, dice the onions, and chop the green onions.

3. Set a pan to medium heat, add in the evoo, then pour in all of the cut up ingredients until the sweet potato is thoroughly cooked (cut through it with a knife and if it goes through easily then you're good to go!)

4. Drain the pasta and add it into the saucepan with the cooked ingredients. Stir around for about a minute so the pasta can gather some of the flavors.

5. Roast the peanuts for about 2 minutes in another pan. 

6. Add in the nuts and the seasonings (lemon juice, salt, and pepper) and mix around for about 2 minutes on the lowest heat setting. 

7. Wash the arugula, then place it on the plate, lastly add on the pasta, ta da you're done!
