I guess we all know the feeling: It is so hot outside that the last thing we want is to turn on the stove or worse, put something hot into our bodies. Eating ice cream for dinner is also not really an option (even though we really want to). Obviously, salads are a great option for these hot summer evenings.

Sweet potatoes are the perfect comfort food. They are incredibly healthy, super easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious. Even though they are in peak season in the fall, they can be enjoyed during the winter as well.
The inspiration for this recipe came from my mother-in-law, Laura. She has served mashed cauliflower many times instead of mashed potatoes when something lighter was needed to balance another component of the dish.
