It’s the New Year and while everyone is doing their resolution thing, I’m like “Can we not overachieve for 3 weeks just to crash and burn for the next 3 months until it’s almost swimsuit season and we repeat the cycle?”. #preach
Instead, I challenge you to identify a handful of simple ways you can become healthier- SIMPLE ways. Like so simple that you can do them ALL YEAR round and have it slowly add up to just part of a sustainably healthy lifestyle.
Maybe…
-one extra glass of water during the day?
-having a protein source at every snack (cheese, nuts and yogurt are my favs!)
-one more meal at home during the week?
Personally, I am striving to make more meals at home. So much so, that I’m often posting on social media with #moremealsathome. We all know homecooked meals take planning and time, BUT if you love citrus, yardbird and don’t have much extra time to spare…you’re welcome for this recipe.
Yes, ALL these ingredients cook in the same pot at the same time.
KISS tip: Use a crockpot liner to make clean up a cinch!
One pot = one family happy. Serve the sweet potatoes in chunks OR mashed!
This recipe is SO easy and delicious that I made it on live TV today!
