This week my little ones went back to daycare. After three months at home, I was a little worried about their reaction, but it turned out to be just fine. They were pleased to be back with their educators and their little friends. And on the other hand, I found myself with some free time, which seems like a luxury after these last months.
I took the opportunity to prepare this sweet potato and spinach curry. The mister and I love it, but the kids don’t like it when they see it. I make it from time to time, hoping that one day they will finally taste it. Oh yes, they “don’t like it,” but in fact, they have never tasted it… I’m just being patient, hoping one day they finally will!
Until then, I’ll share it with you. The base is the same as this chickpea and cauliflower curry I published a few weeks ago. It’s healthy, vegetarian, but above all very good!
