January always seems to be the month that goes on forever and ever. The weather is always a bit (or a lot) chilly depending on where you live, calling for lots of cozy food. In addition to soup, potatoes are the next best thing to stick to your bones if you ask me! I love using sweet potatoes as much as I can because they are more nutrient dense than a regular russet potato. Sweet potatoes are so versatile and while they are delicious on their own just with a little honey and butter, I love to add savory flavors as well. Stuffing sweet potatoes is a great way to add a variety of flavors and you can create an entire meal with them that the whole family will love. My miso butter sweet potatoes with roasted chickpeas will quickly become a weeknight favorite and the best part is, they are loaded with flavor and nutrition!
I have a confession, I am not really back into the kitchen yet. This recipe was one I made and shot before giving birth that I had planned on blogging before I went into labor. And I'm so glad I had it on the back burner to have ready to go post baby because last night was my first night back in the kitchen in over a month! Easy dinners are an absolute essential for me right now, especially because Canean has been having to do some of the cooking while I have been in recovery/new baby mode! My spinach, sun-dried tomato, and goat cheese stuffed sweet potatoes are the perfect easy dinner or side and happen to be packed full of nutrients and can be ready without breaking a sweat.
