I have an absolutely delicious recipe for you today. These quinoa and spinach stuffed sweet sweet potatoes are packed with protein and are incredibly flavorful. I know you’re going to love them. It’s hard to believe they’re so good for you too! 

If you want to make them vegetarian, just use veggie stock instead of chicken stock to cook your quinoa. You can even make this recipe vegan by leaving out the cheese, and it will still be amazing. Enjoy!

stuffed sweet potatoes recipe

Yields: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 40



how to make quinoa
Ingredients:

2 sweet potatoes
6 handfuls of spinach, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup chicken stock, veggie stock, or water
¼ cup pecans, chopped
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (can substitute feta)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Cut clean sweet potatoes evenly in half lengthwise and place face down on a baking sheet. Brush on a light layer of olive oil, and sprinkle salt and pepper on the skins. Roast for approximately 30 minutes or until they are tender.

3. While sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse quinoa under running water, and set aside. Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour quinoa into the saucepan with the stock, and stir. Bring the chicken stock down to a simmer, and allow the quinoa to cook for approximately 15 minutes. It is done when it looks like it has popped, and there is no excess liquid.

4. After quinoa is cooked, place olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped spinach, and cook until spinach is wilted (approximately three to four minutes). Remove from heat, and stir in cooked quinoa, pecans, cranberries, and salt and pepper to taste.

5. After the sweet potatoes have roasted, use a spoon to press down the center so it is more open for the filling.
6. Spoon the filling into each sweet potato evenly. Add crumbled goat cheese to each and serve.

These make a very flavorful and healthy side dish for baked chicken or fish. And with as much protein as you get in these potatoes, feel free to have them for lunch with a salad. They are excellent the next day.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
