I absolutely love sweet potatoes and am always trying to figure out different ways to pair them with foods. So, tonight I found this great recipe on Eating Well called Black Bean-Smothered Sweet Potatoes. I decided to give it a whirl. I cooked the sweet potatoes in the oven Sunday night to save time (I find they cook much better in the oven than the microwave) and when I got home from work I was ready to start cooking. I heated up the bean, tomato and spices mixture and put some on top of the warm sweet potatoes and decided to pair it with some rice to make a complete, filling meal. So, I made simple brown rice with onions, cilantro, lime, tomatoes and salsa (its a quick shortcut to making food flavorful). As you can see the results of the sweet potato above turned out beautiful, and tasty as well!

Three words- sweet potato fries. Those things are amazing, but probably not as good for you as your creation!
Mmm…I will admit, not as healthy – but they are still so delicious.
