Spicy Spuds

Sweet potatoes were on the dinner menu tonight.  And to tell you the truth, I was looking forward to this all day.  I woke up this morning knowing full well that today was a sweet potato kind of day.  Shouldn't everyday be so lucky? 
I've already shared my roasted cinnamon and sugar sweet potatoes, but tonight, I'm going spicy.
Nothing wrong with a little Cajun spice to heat things up.  These are healthy, delicious, and just what the start to my weekend needed.
