Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Date GlazeI love sweet potatoes, one of the healthiest foods on the planet. The purple ones are the best, and you can usually find them at Asian markets and specialty natural groceries. They’re so good I send them out in the mail as holiday gifts. After all, what is more comforting on a wintry day than a nice, warm, steamy sweet potato? Here’s a recipe for a stocking stuffer you can stuff. Check out the recipe here. |
Holiday Main Recipes
Cottage Pie with Sweet Potato MashOne of my favorite comfort foods. This warm, savory dish is just as flavorful with mashed cauliflower instead of the sweet potato topping, so mix it up if the mood strikes. Check out the recipe here. |

Roasted Kabocha with Kale-Cranberry StuffingRather than starchy, boring bread cubes, the stuffing for this dish is made with my Basic BROL, combined with onion, celery, kale, and cranberries. To mix it up, try swapping in any combination of cooked whole grains with beans in place of the Basic BROL. Check out the recipe here. |
Holiday Dessert Recipes
Cinnamon Baked ApplesEnjoy these Cinnamon Baked Apples on their own, pair them with nice cream, or top with cashew cream for dessert. Serve these Baked Apples over cooked oatmeal for a tasty breakfast. Check out the recipe here. |
