Sweet Potato Bean Bowl Recipe
Beans and rice week continues: Last night’s recipe was AMAZING! I came across it on Pinterest, I have two sweet potatoes that have been sitting on my fruit tray for a couple of weeks now, begging to be cooked. This seemed like the perfect way to spice up my dinner. For beans and rice week, we’re eating cheaply, so my intent is to only eat things that we already have on hand all week. We will donate what we save to help people get access to clean water! Having made similar dishes in the past, I was not so sure how sweet potatoes would factor in. They were so rich and sweet and creamy! This is a great vegetarian recipe, so I guess I finally had a meatless Monday!
