Sweet Potato Pear Salad. This is the perfect salad for anyone that loves sweet. The deep roasted flavors of sweet potatoes and pears are exactly that. Together with quinoa, they make for rich and flavorful salad that is healthy, packed with protein and fiber — and one that offers the distinct seasonal flavor of fall.<\/p>\n

\"Roasted<\/a><\/p>\n

For me, sweet potatoes are classic addition to any fall menu and as I was growing up they were an absolute must at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Albeit back then I despised them. And turnips. But I’ll never get over the turnips. I still can’t even walk into the same room as them. Cooked turnips that is. As for sweet potatoes, they are something I’ve had a fleeting love affair with over the years. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I don’t. They fall into that category of ” I need to be in the mood” and sometimes it just ain’t jiving. I think it has to do with their sweetness. At times it’s just too much of a good thing. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yes, this salad is sweet. Naturally sweet. But I guess I was in the mood. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Here in Germany, sweet potatoes are slowly making their way to mainstream. It didn’t used to be that way. They were hard to find. I used to search relentlessly for them in the “early years”. That was way back when I was making homemade dog food for “the best dog in the world” Chloe<\/a>. My Rhodesian Ridgeback who also happened to have “the best personality in the world”. My world, of course. She had a sense of humor, and she smiled. I swear!<\/p>\n

Here’s a little secret, dogs L O V E sweet potatoes! And yes, it does sound a little crazy that I used to cook for my dog. But…she had allergies. So it made sense. And, surprisingly enough it’s easy, cheaper and healthier. And best part, she and I both enjoyed it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
