Today, I have one of my all-time favorite lunches packed up and ready to go:
This may seem super weird to some, but trust me -- it's really, really good! I top a baked sweet potato with a pinch of salt and a few dashes of chili powder, some cooked black beans, steamed broccoli, salsa, and shredded cheese. Colorful, healthy, fiber-rich, a variety of textures and flavors, pretty much everything one would want in a packed lunch!
Baked sweet potatoes are one of my favorite avenues for healthy meals, actually -- I find they are also REALLY good topped with leftover chili. What's your favorite baked sweet potato topping! (I'm going to need to be eating a LOT more sweet potatoes, since I bought ten pounds at Costco!)

that looks so good.. I love sweet potatoes too
I am really trying to like baked sweet potatoes more, but it's a slow process. I like sweet potato fries, but the texture of baked sweet potatoes along with the taste isn't my favorite. Can we still be friends? :)
ps - I"m headed to Costco today. We'll see how much produce I can buy....
yum! At first I thought that was black olives, but when I saw that it was black beans I got excited!
I love putting leftover chili on a baked potato, so now I want to try it on a sweet potato. Thanks for the idea!
