The 5 Best Sweet Potato Recipes
Some of my favorite meatless dishes include many sweet potato recipes. I used to eat mostly vegetarian (I say mostly because once in a while I’d cook something with chicken). Since most of my meals consisted of vegetables, I needed a way to feel full and satisfied so I wouldn’t feel starved in a couple of hours.
