Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Continuing my sweet potato kick, here is my recipe for mashed sweet potatoes. Perfect amount of sweet and cinnamon flavor to add to your holiday meal. 

Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas (vegetarian)

Believe it or not, there are ways to make enchiladas healthier than at your favorite Mexican eatery. Even though this recipe is meatless and uses whole foods and ingredients, my taste testers weren’t disappointed!

Sweet Potato Chili

This is a simple chili stew with a twist by adding sweet potatoes. Healthier and just as easy as white potatoes!

Simple Sweet Potato Chips

This is one of my favorite snacks. Who doesn’t love sweet potatoes? Even if you don’t you should still try this recipe, it may change your mind!

Candied Sweet Potato Bites

Here is another one of my sweet potato favorites. Roasted until crispy with a sweet spiced glaze, you can’t go wrong with these Candied Sweet Potato Bites.

Sweet Potato Boats with Avocado Salad - $$

Sweet potato season is here!  In the fall they are easy to turn to for a healthy comfort food.  For me sweet potatoes are a standard during the holidays and have recently become a staple in my kitchen. They also make a great snack by themselves. Check out my chip recipe here.  Or baked – cut one in half and pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes and then add a little butter. Easy. The sweet potato boat improves upon this 10-fold. This recipe takes one of my favorite healthy snacks to a new level – the dinner table! You could eat these by themselves for lunch or as a side with dinner (or I’ve eaten a couple “boats” as my dinner on a night I’m not super hungry).
