This is absolutely delicious! We eat quite a few meatless - or low meat, such as this one, meals. This worked perfectly as a light supper. I thought the flavors were perfect. My daughter thought it was a little vinegary. I will be making this again soon! -
If you haven't tried it, you should =) I love sweet potatoes but don't always know what to do with them. This is great! I love the combination from the bacon, honey, and vinegar. Great as is! -
Wow impressive! Quite honestly I was a little afraid to make this recipe. I have never had a warm salad dressing on my salads. But as I am one to always willing to try new things I gave this a go. And Am I ever glad I did. This was amazing. I loved the sweetness from the honey and yet tangy from the red wine vinegar. I also like how the warm salad dressing wilted the spinach to a soft crunch. Delicious and I will for sure make this again. Thank you very much for posting newmama. Made for New Kids On The Block Tag Forum Game.

I live in MI with my family and am always on the lookout for new tasty recipes that even my toddler will like. He loves meat and pasta, most fruit and is getting better about veggies. I cook every meal 7 days a week, with the occasional lunch or dinner out (very occasional!) but I love cooking so it's not a bad thing to me.

<br>I am a big sweets eater and recently got an ice cream maker so I have been whipping up lots of ice cream. My favorite so far has been Ben and Jerry's heath bar crunch, it's so creamy and only lasts 2 days in this house! Other baked goods and homemade bread are favorites too, though not much bread gets baked in the summer.

<br>I hate doing dishes! We are currently house hunting and a dishwasher is a must (we don't have one right now). Luckily my dh is pretty good about helping out with the dishes :)
<br>
<br>I know it seems like I give lots of good reviews, but there is a good reason: I know what we like, so I pick dishes I think we will like, and often we do. If i give a review of a recipe with no stars it's because I think I did something wrong usually so that's why it didn't come out right. Or if something has excellent ratings and I don't like it, I don't want to ruin that, because obviously I didn't like something, but that's not a refection of the actual recipe!

<br>I dislike when people don't make the recipe correctly and give it a bad review. Ok, if you change one or two small things, fine, but if you make major changes, not ok. And when people give a bad review because it was good, but not what they are looking for? Sorry, but I don't get that. YOU picked it, if it tastes good but wasn't what you were looking for, not the recipe's fault :)
