Sriracha Dressing

I don't know about you, but Sriracha is a staple in our household.  Blake literally will put it on anything and everything.  I have grown to love it on pizza and eggs, and it's obviously amazing with tacos.  Since I was crazy and planted three tomato plants, and we clearly could not eat them fast enough, I decided to make a simple tomato and parsley salad for dinner.  To spice it up, I sprinkled goat cheese on top.  The real kicker, however; was the Sriracha salad dressing.  It gave the salad a kick without taking away from the freshness of the herbs and tomatoes. 

Spice Rubbed Sweet Potatoes

Fall is here, and there is no better way to celebrate it than roasting sweet potatoes.  Roasting tends to be my go-to method of cooking vegetables of any kind, since I can basically leave them unattended for 20-30 minutes while I cook the rest of dinner.   I think onions and garlic are sweet potatoes best friends, and they should always be eaten together.  Of course if you're lame and don't like onions, you could leave them out. And, if your just ridiculous and you don't like garlic, you can just get the Hell out of my blog.  I kid, but seriously, do those people exist?

Anywho, this side dish is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.  The combination of cinnamon and sugar offsets the spicy kick from Cayenne.  If you want a bigger kick you can always add more Cayenne pepper, but I found the below measurements to be the perfect ratio.  Once you mix all the ingredients together you can throw these potatoes into the oven and forget about them for half an hour!
