I had 2 sweet potato plants in my garden this summer and I finally harvested them yesterday. It’s sad to see the garden finally be done for the season, but it is exciting to have a great sweet potato harvest this year to use in my sweet potato black bean tostadas!
I absolutely adore sweet potatoes in spicy dishes. The sweet and the heat are made for each other! In this dish I use red pepper flake to add plenty of kick. Continue reading

So, what alterations did I make? Two major swaps and one omission is all that you will find. I swaped sweet potato for the butternut, and tofu for the chickpeas. Continue reading

African peanut stew is a traditional dish from western Africa where ground nuts are used to flavor and thicken sauces. I made my African peanut stew with lentils and quinoa for plenty of plant-based protein.
Lentils and quinoa might be one of my favorite vegetarian protein combinations. Their flavors and textures work well together. I also use this combination in my favorite stuffed peppers recipe. Continue reading

Peppers and onions make the base for this soup. They are the most important ingredients because they give the broth all of its flavor. Continue reading

The tradition comes from the southern United States, so I figured Cajun flavors would work well. I love these Cajun black eyed pea sweet potato cakes, and plan to enjoy them for good luck in the new year! Continue reading

One ingredient I always keep in my fridge for easy nutritious meals is sweet potato. I like to dice them into small pieces and either roast in the oven, or fry in a skillet. They can stand alone as a side, or be tossed into salads, soups, stews and bowls. This sweet potato black bean cilantro salad is my favorite way to use sweet potatoes. Black beans add plenty of protein to help you stay full, and cilantro adds plenty of fresh, bright flavor! Eat a large serving as a main dish, or a small serving as a side. Continue reading
