Honey-Lime, Black Bean, Corn Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

A delicious sweet potatoes stuffed to the max with black beans, corn, and a delightful honey-lime dressing. Honey-Lime, Black Bean, Corn Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. 

Happy New Year everyone! I cannot believe how quickly 2013 went by. It was definitely the best year for me, well us. We decided to buy a house, then got married at a young age.

I believe 2014 will be a fabulous year as well. Wow…typing out 2014 just feels weird. Does it for you?

I always like to start out a new year with something easy and healthy – don’t we all? I thought these stuffed sweet potatoes would be perfect, plus you can eat these all-year long if you wanted to.

I love fresh produce in the summer. I need to start working on planning out my 2014 garden. I keep on saying it is going to be bigger and badder, but that is a lot of work. Need to think on that some more, I wish there were more hours in the day!

I love all of the beautiful colors in this dish. So stinkin’ pretty. 🙂

Not only does it look delicious, but it is so easy to make from start to finish. The longest part is roasting the sweet potatoes after that, it is just gravy. Delicious.Easy.Simple.Colorful.

Have you set your goals for 2014, yet? I have started, but I really need to finish. If I don’t do it soon, I will be doomed and it will never get finished.
