Decorated Sweet Potato

I would have more to say if my fingernails weren’t burning from cutting jalapeños for my lunches this week. I bought the edible flowers from Reclaim Urban Farm, and the coconut bacon and cashew dill sour cream from Urban Pierogies. Even if you don’t live in Edmonton, you could probably source something similar from a local organic grocer or a farmers market!
