Purple Sweet Potato, Oranges, Hot House Grape Tomatoes and Olives

Winter blues? Try purple potatoes! These I found at Your Dekalb Farmer’s Market for much cheaper than you can get them at Whole Foods. Cook up a bunch and slice up for the week. Then there’s the kid-friendly pop-in-your-mouth-and-make-an-orange-smile treat. Don’t forget grape tomatoes and pitted olives, which you can slice lengthwise. My three-year-old loves the color. I love the nutritional value that a rainbow of vegetables and fruit provides.
