Happy Seasonal Sunday, Plant Lovers!
This week, let’s dive into the cozy, nutrient-packed goodness of Sweet Potatoes—a staple in many fall and winter dishes and in season right now! With their naturally sweet flavor and rich nutritional profile, sweet potatoes are perfect for warming up your meals during the colder months.
Here’s why we love Sweet Potatoes:
- High in beta-carotene (which converts to vitamin A), sweet potatoes support eye health and boost immunity.
- Packed with fiber, they promote digestion and help you feel full for longer.
- Their naturally sweet flavor pairs well with both savory and sweet dishes, making them incredibly versatile.
How to enjoy Sweet Potatoes:
Roasted: Dice sweet potatoes, toss with your favorite herbs and roast for a crispy and sweet side dish.
Mashed: Steam or bake sweet potatoes, then mash for a creamy, comforting side.
In Curry: Add chunks of sweet potato to Curry’s and stews for a hearty, flavorful twist.
Sweet Potato Fries: Slice into fries, season with your favorite spices and bake for a healthy and satisfying snack.
Sweet potatoes are available now at your local grocery store or farmer’s market, so grab some this week and enjoy their natural sweetness in your meals!

Wishing you a cozy, nourishing Sunday!
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
