Sweet Potato Hash

Sweet potatoes are a wonderful fall dish, and they are full of essential nutrients. Use your favorite hash recipe, substituting sweet potatoes for regular potatoes. You’ll be completely satisfied but won’t feel nearly as heavy afterwards!

I’ve been out of town for 9 days now and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this sweet potato hash. Whenever I travel, I typically stay in @airbnb homes so I have access to a kitchen. This allows me to cook at my leisure and save money along the way. Here is your HOW TO: 1⃣ peel 2 sweet potatoes and cut into cubes – cook on medium/low heat until soft in a large sauté pan 2⃣ push the 95% cooked-thru sweet potato to the side of the pan and add 1lb chorizo 3⃣once fully cooked, make 3 small holes in the pan and add pasture-raised eggs. Tip: to ensure the tops@of the eggs get cooked, I turn the heat to low and cover the pain until the eggs are cloudy. 4⃣ slice up some basil and garnish on top • • • • • #sweetpotatohash #breakfastideas #sandiego #acn2019 #lajolla #sweetpotatolove #eattherainbow #howto #breakfasthowto #adaptogens #holybasil #breakingthefast #goodmoodfood #eatwellbewell #futurenutritionist #houstonwellnessblogger

Quinoa and Bean Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are a classic dish, but the meat-heavy versions can leave you feeling lethargic and bloated. Swap out the meat for a mix of quinoa and beans—spiced to your preference—and you’ll be amazed at how little you actually miss the beef.

Spaghetti Squash

If you are craving pasta but don’t want to pack in all the carbs, try spaghetti squash instead. Topping however you would regular spaghetti, you’ll get all the texture, flavor, and fun without any of the guilt!
