quinoa stuffed sweet potatoes & a care package

wellness

Well, like promised, I am coming to you tonight with a new recipe; it is delightful.

I wanted to combine some of my favorite things: sweet potatoes, veggies, cheese, and… I guess, quinoa. The weather has turned a bit here in Minnesota today – maybe supermoon last night had some fall affect – but it definitely feels crisp today.

Tonight’s meal of quinoa stuffed sweet potatoes was the perfect mixture of healthy, rich, and home-cooked. The flavors were fantastic and it left both Tony and I full and satisfied, [as Tony is munching on a honeycrisp apple for a bedtime snack].

As I waited 40 minutes for the sweet potatoes to cook, I put together this oh-so-cute care package for my baby sister at Iowa State, [she doesn’t read my blog often enough for the surprise to be wrecked].

All things college kids like, right? Well, it may not be for the average college kid, but these are all sweet treats she loves, plus fuzzy socks – because who doesn’t love fuzzy socks?! & easy mac? Takes me back…

But anyway – give my stuffed sweet potatoes a try [&please ignore my poor quality photos tonight, my nice camera is chargin’ up], I promise you’ll LOVE them!

Happy Monday! xo
