grilled sweet potatoes w/ cilantro & lime

sweet potatoes are a staple in my diet.

at this point it's surprising that i haven't turned a lovely shade of orange yet.  yet.  there's always tomorrow.

so with summer in full force and the bbq constantly fired up, i decided yesterday was the perfect day to throw them on the grill and give them a summer makeover, finished off with some fresh lime and cilantro for good measure.
