RAINBOW YAMS ๐งก๐๐๐
Hello My Dearest Foodies,
When I bought these yams, I knew one was orange inside, but I wasn't sure about the other two. I was hoping for purple, because I was looking for one for a while, however, I did not expect to get one yellow. I actually didn't know until they were all baked and I cut them in half. It was quite a lovely surprise, because they looked so pretty side by side. I know you are wondering why I didn't take photo of them at that point, but the lighting in my kitchen is casting too much shadows and I am tired to deal with it, especially now with my achy hands, lol. And I didn't have my photoshoot lighting set up yet. Nevertheless, I still like the purple one the most especially in combination with the lime green color of the dressing and Edamame. Not to forget, the purple yam has quite different, but very tasty flavor and texture. Also, make sure you serve it with steamed, garlicky, baby spinach, topped with roasted pine nuts.

Howdy Miss Lena! wow I never even heard of purple yams but I bet they have to be really good. They look wonderful like you said with that sauce! This is another beautiful post, great job!
Howdy Janton! Yes they are really good, especially with that sauce that makes them not only look good, but also extra flavorful. Thank you so much for stopping by and for your lovely comment. I appreciate it very much๐
Howdy Miss Lena! how are you? You have been very busy? How is your hand that was hurting?
Howdy Janton, I was just doing laundry today, but now I am back again catching up here. My hand is better, thank you for asking, but I have to keep taking antibiotics for another week. By the way, my left hand surgery is not going to be until November, because my surgeon is fully booked until August already. However, I don't want to do it at summertime or early fall when the weather is still nice. So I booked it for early November; just enough time to heal for the Christmas. ๐
howdy again Miss Lena! well that's a great plan you have there but it's astounding that the surgeon is booked until August! wow, talk about job security..he can't afford to get sick or his schedule gets even tougher. I'm glad your hand is better, I knew it would be, you can't keep a good woman down!
When you right you right Janton. About my surgeon and about me and my hand. Thank you! You are such an gentleman ๐
well you are very kind and you are very welcome. I try my best. lol.
I love yams and those just look like a real treat yummy
Thank you so much my Friend ๐

Simple, easy and so beautiful! The colors of those yams are so lovely!
Thank you so much my Dear, I am happy you like them ๐
That is beautiful. Reminds me of tacos which are very trendy off of food trucks. Trendy because they are so beautiful like your yams :)
Tacos? Wow! Well I have to make those too! Thank you so much Steven, I am glad you like it ๐
What a fun surprise! I love how vibrant the purple ones are. I haven't had any of those in a while, but usually the Whole Foods nearby has some. The farmers market usually only has the typical orange flesh ones. That topping looks scrumptious, too. Lots of antioxidants to keep you healing up! ๐
Thank you so much Katie, I am glad you like it. The purple ones are really delicious and the dressing add it interesting flavor over all ๐๐
it looks delicious as always ๐
Thank you so much Sweetie ๐๐๐
