We want to continue emphasizing the importance of your relationship with food. It fuels you, energizes you, and allows your body to do what it needs to do. If it tastes great in the process, bonus. Should you eat foods you don’t love? Not necessarily, but should you be sure you’re eating foods that are colorful and REAL (fruits, veggies, meats, nuts, sweet potatoes, and the like)? For sure. So, we wanted to put together a few recipes for you this holiday season that you can enjoy and feel great about.
Harvest Chicken and Sweet Potato Salad from Eat the Gains: This chicken & sweet potato salad takes all those fall flavors and combines them together. Roasted sweet potatoes, seasoned chicken, cranberries, pecans, and a cinnamon tahini dressing.
Herb & Garlic Butter Smashed Sweet Potatoes from The Endless Meal: These easy to make Herb and Garlic Smashed Sweet Potatoes are insanely delicious. They make the perfect sweet and savory healthy side dish.
Prime Rib Roast from She Wears Many Hats: Prime Rib, or a Standing Rib Roast is a rich, delectable entrée fit for any special occasion. And of course, there’s nothing quite like the smell of a cooking prime rib to entice your appetite and have your whole home smelling like a celebration.
Salmon Cakes from A Family Feast: This recipe comes from the book, It Starts With Food, and the salmon cakes are made with wild-caught salmon and sweet potato, a great combo!
