Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Many of my clients struggle with finding carbs that are considered "healthy". We are so used to breads, noodles, and french fries that we often have a hard time figuring out a healthy carb option that the whole family can enjoy. Here is an idea that your family will love! Serve with a protein such as chicken, fish or beef. Add a vegetable such as asparagus for an amazingly healthy meal! Grilled Sweet Potatoes  You will need:

• 2-4 sweet potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or vinegar of choice

Step 1: Boil sweet potatoes for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from burner after 10 minutes, strain water, and allow to cool. Once potatoes are cool, cut into strips.

 

 Step 2: Combine all other ingredients in a bowl.

 

 Step 3: Brush ingredients from bowl onto both sides of all sweet potato slices.

 

 Step 4: Place sweet potato slices in a grill basket.
 

 Step 5: Place grill basket on grill on medium to high heat and cook for at least 15 minutes or until basket lines are burned into the bottom sides of sweet potatoes.

 

 Enjoy!

Healthy Breakfast Hash

GOOD MORNING!!!!

A few days ago I was searching for new breakfast recipes and came across this amazing looking recipe on Nom Nom Paleo. I decided to try a modified version. I'm all for SIMPLE meals that don't take many ingredients or prep work. This breakfast makes 2 servings and is the perfect protein/carb balance. If you are doing the 21 Day Fix meal plan, you will want to use your yellow container to measure your sweet potatoes or yams. 

Here is what you'll need:

• 1 Yam or Sweet Potato
• Green onion or chives
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic Powder to taste
• Coconut Oil
• 4 eggs

Here is how you will prepare your hash:



  Grate 1 yam or sweet potato. Place in a large bowl.



Mix yam/sweet potato with green onion/chives, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (all spices to taste).

   

Grease a skillet with coconut oil and heat a skillet to medium heat. Add your yam/potato mixture. Cook until yams/potatoes are cooked and mildly browned. 



 When your potatoes are nearly cooked, fry four eggs in a small amount of coconut oil. Feel free to cook eggs just the way you like them. When you are finished, slide two eggs onto the top of 1/2 of your yam/potato hash. There you have it! The perfect simple and tasty healthy breakfast.
