    Sweet Potato Burritos!

    4 sweet potatoes
    1 package of frozen corn
    2 cans of black beans, thoroughly rinsed
    2 jars of salsa
    4 oz of soft cream cheese

    Put on slow cooker on high for 6 hours. Delish, vegetarian, and kids love it! Any other vegetarian ideas?

    mmmm that sounds good!

    yummmo! I'm trying this soon....
    Last nite we had sweet potato beef stew
    roughly - i lb of stew meat - 3 cups of sweet potatoes ( we like BIG pieces - so I used more)
    1 large onion
    4-6 cloves of garlic ( we like garlic)
    beef broth ( about a cup)
    tomato paste
    cinnamon stick & a bay leaf

    brown the beef - toss everything into the crockpot on low 6 - 8 hours.... super tasty! we had it with kale on the side



    I made this in my crock pot last night - not only does it taste pretty good, but my apartment smelled AMAZING when I woke up today!


    2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed macintosh apple
    3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
    1 1/2 cups cleaned and cubed butternut squash
    1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

    2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 tablespoon honey

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread apple, sweet potato, and squash on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle with the pumpkin pie spice. Roast for 10-15 minutes.

    Transfer the roasted veggies to a crock pot and top with 2 cups of vegetable broth, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and a tablespoon of honey. Cook on low for 6 hours. Mash vegetables for last half hour of cooking, or use a blender after the soup has cooled to give it a smooth, creamy texture.

    4 servings, 165 calories each.

    This sounds amazing!

    I made this... it came out very, very sweet- almost like pumpkin pie filling. Since it doesn't appeal to me as a soup, I'm going to mix it with some oatmeal and see what happens. It yielded 6 one cup servings for me.
