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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
