Artificial Flavors

I hate it when I go to the supermarket and I see a label saying "Artificially Flavored" I need food that is real and fresh.

It looks good but...

my sweet potatoes didn't caramelize. I let it cook until fork tender.

They were good.

Although it didn't caramelize. They were good. I wish that it did caramelize so it could taste much sweeter.
