11 Mouth-Watering Ways to Eat Sweet Potatoes
Ambitious Kitchen

Sweet Potatoes. What devilishly delicious little root vegetables. Not only do they have over 400 percent of the suggested daily value of vitamin A (good for your skin, bones, and immune system), they also have a ton of potassium (fights against strokes and high blood pressure) and fiber (helps you poop). They also have a fraction of the calories compared to regular potatoes! And Jeez Louise, are they just yummy.

Here are some easy ways to eat more sweet potatoes every day! (Like you even need any more excuses...)

1. Warm Quinoa, Sweet Potato and Kale Salad

Um hi, if this doesn't sound absolutely incredibly amazing to you, you must be a very sad human. With a yummy orange dressing, you can't go wrong here. Recipe here.

2. Garlic Butter Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Parmesan

This is an insanely easy way to cook your sweet potatoes. Plus, it only uses about 7 ingredients, most of which you already have in your pantry. Win. Recipe here.

3. Baked Egg Stuffed Sweet Potato

I make these guys on the reg. It's so incredibly easy, especially if you bake a couple sweet potatoes at the beginning of the week and keep them in the fridge to whip out for recipes like this. Piece of cake. Or potato. Whatever. Recipe here.

4. Sweet Potato Grain-Free Brownies

Okay, okay, I know. This one sounds a little crazy and maybe slightly gross. But have I let you down so far? Trust me on this one, you won't be disappointed with these fudgy, guilt-free chocolate yummies. Recipe here.

5. Sweet Potato Rounds with Herbed Ricotta and Walnuts

Say hello to the fanciest way ever to eat a sweet potato. Honey, cranberries, and walnuts, oh my! Recipe here.

6. Kale and Sweet Potato Burrito

Seriously, is that not one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen in your whole entire life? Combining sweet potatoes and burritos should have happened a long, long time ago. The hot sauce in this burrito will give you a little well-needed kick in the tush. Recipe here.

7. Sweet Potato Broccoli Chicken Bake

Make a big batch of this at the beginning of your week, separate it between some Tupperware, and just microwave for your lunch or dinner! Super easy and super relish. Recipe here.

8. One Pot Mexican Black Bean Sweet Potato Quinoa

Just like our friend above, this recipe is way, way easy and you can get lunch or dinner for the whole week from one batch! #adulting Bonus, this recipe has a healthy balance of protein from the black beans, healthy fats from the avocado, and carbs from the quinoa and sweet potatoes! Recipe here.

9. Easy Sweet Potato + Egg

Holy breakfast. Who would have thought to julienne sweet potatoes? Not me! But boy am I glad somebody did. This is a delectable recipe that you could probably eat straight out of the pan (like it would last much longer than that). Recipe here.

10. Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecan Topping

If you're looking for a little less commitment with sweet potatoes, here's a lip-smackin' side dish for you. Plus, it's vegan! *high-five* Recipe here.

11. Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Helloooo, sexy. I would be remiss not to give you a recipe for the world's most beloved food - Sweet Potato Fries. Here's a mega-healthy way to make these guys. You're so welcome. Recipe here.

Happy Healthy Eating!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
