This recipe is really quick to throw together and so tasty. The combination of lamb with creamy mashed sweet potatoes is so delicious. If you don’t like the taste of lamb or can’t get access to it, you can substitute ground beef. You can mix in your favorite vegetables or mix up the spices however you want. This recipe is really versatile! Serve it with a green salad and you have a complete meal.
Enzo and I are heading back to Omaha next week solo again. This time we’re flying straight from Austin as opposed to driving to Houston first. Hopefully the 3 hour layover we have will go well! At least now that I’ve done it once I don’t feel so nervous and intimidated about it. Though now Enzo is very mobile and wants to go everywhere! So we’ll see how that goes. 🙂
