I am a big fan of eating and watching TV. So I kinda love Diners Drive-ins and Dives because I can watch TV about eating.

And the other night my peep Guy Fieri was at a bar that had a delicious vegetarian salad – Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese to be exact. But, I’m fresh outta beets (and I kinda am not a fan).
So, I made an amazing Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese salad for lunch and had to share. Well, not share the salad – it’s all mine. I mean, share the idea because it’s so good!
I roasted a big sweet potato in the oven (as opposed to micro-waving it like usual). This is better because the skin just slides right off.
Then, I chopped it up, threw it on a Caesar Salad and added several big hunks of herb goat cheese. Lunch is served.
What did you have for lunch?
I had Lemony potato, broccoli & goat’s cheese salad, it’s really very nice. your last one photo looks good..
YUM! This salad looks so good, I can’t wait to try it! I was never a huge beet person until I had them the RIGHT way. Of course it was at a restaurant but they were cooked and dressed perfectly and now I’m totally sold on the whole beet craze.
Anytime I run on the treadmill it’s all about Food Network. . . the past 3 runs have actually been fueled by Mr. Guy, and I’m not upset about that.
My dinner last night, ironically enough, included a beat and goat cheese salad (tapas style meal, so I had a lot of different plates, but that was a good one!)
I’m still obsessing over zucchini, so I made a “Taco Zucchini Boat”– ground turkey with taco seasoning. I cut the zucchini in half, scraped out the rind, put the taco meat in it, topped it with shredded cheese and baked it.
Holy YUM.
yum!!! this looks so good! I’ve been on a def salad kick lately! I’ve been making my own balsamic vinaigrette and I cant stop eating it!
So glad I am not the only one who watches Guy while I’m eating. Love this show! Love this combo for dinner. Last night I had some baked salmon, eggplant pizzas and butternut squash. I was feeling particularly kitchen adventurous!
Yum I love goat cheese. yesterday was boring for me because I had to go on an evening run. I had veggies and some shrimp early in the day. Then I came home and snacked on peanut butter, more shrimp, yogurt, and fruit.
Oh that looks yummy! I am a total greens snob now and only buy kale, spinach, arugula, or mesclun… Weird I know. For dinner I went out with the boy for a sushi date! It was delicious but I rarely eat rice so I looked a few months pregnant after dinner. Luckily my belly was flat again in the morning!
yum! I had some lentil and rice croquettes {sounds fancy right?!} at a restaurant in VA…so good!!
I had zucchini pizza bites! Your salad looks delish!
Leftovers! Couldn’t be easier!!
You take great photos! And that salad looks really good …
Yum, sweet potatoes are the bomb.
I had a grilled cheese with spinach on a bagel, chips and guac, and some steak
That looks great! I had a chicken salad for dinner, it was lovely 🙂
Not a fan of beets too and I’m thinking of trying out sweet potato like you and maybe yam. It’s lunch hour here; haven’t planned din yet. We’ll see how it goes when I get home.
Your dinner looks absolutely delicious. I used the staff voucher I got today for parking on the far side of campus and scarfed down a free all-you-can-eat meal in the cafeteria before dashing to the other side of campus for team pictures. Not nearly as healthy! But the salad bar is pretty good! (My first visit to the cafeteria here.)
Woo! I have that plate! (I get excited over the small things in life). Salad looks amazing… goat cheese and sweet potatoes? Sign me up!
I bet you have the fancy version of my plate, it’s from the 99 cent store. I’m not joking.
I’ve had roasted beet and goat cheese salads before, they are delicious, you should really try them. I made coconut and almond crusted tilapia, coconut lime rice and broccoli for dinner.
I made a coconut eggplant tomato bisque for dinner. It was really tasty and not as sweat inducing as I would have expected soup in August to be.
I think Fieri is kind of douchey, but I would LOVE to be paid to roam around the country and eat at random hole-in-the-wall places. My husband and I were just talking yesterday about how we need someone to pay us to do a cross country ice cream shop tour.
Dinner- homemade calzones.
Cross country ice cream shop tour sounds like the BEST idea I’ve ever heard in my life.
I’ve had the beet salads at restaurants and love them. I’ll have to try your version. Who doesn’t love roasted sweet potatoes!
Mmmmmm those are two of my favorite foods. I think this has happened it my kitchen several times before!
