Sweet potato and black bean and avocado burritos

http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2014/04/healthy-sweet-potato-black-bean-avocado-breakfast-burritos/

Tried it! I'm not real sure it's worth the effort. It took like an hour to cook for and assemble six, which would get faster, but still. And it's yummy, but not oh my god this is amazing yummy.

It was really delicious reheated though. If I'm willing to put the effort in, its worth it.

Staple: Parfait Desert

So, if I want a healthy desert, I've been just shoving a "yogurt" on the bowl, a handful of cereal, and a handful of fresh fruit. I've been minding the sugar in them, so it's reasonably healthy.

Staple: Shakshuka Shakshuka Shakshuka!

Sooooo, this was delicious and easy and cheap and healthy. (And if you leave out the sugar- which I did-- meets the Whole 30 requirements, which I'm not doing, but a friend is)

I can already tell that it's going to be a staple recipe. It takes like no effort, it's real hard to screw up --like a soup is. And it's hearty and delicious.

I didn't really spice it much because I wanted to leave it up to my friend to make it to her level.

I also think it'd be interesting to try it with some spinach or some mushrooms.

This time I served it over pasta because it was what I had, but next time that crusty crunchy bread would be amazing.

I think next time I might try this variety:

I have now tried the budget bytes variety and I actually liked the first version better! The beans make it more feeling, but I like the more veggies more.
