Healthy comfort food

I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and boy am I glad I did! It served three purposes: 1. It was delicious! 2. It forced me to learn how to make cream of "whatever" soup from scratch and 3. It got the picky toddler to eat something other than animal crackers, fruit, or waffles! Success all around!

You can find the recipe here.

Though, I did make some changes. I didn't add any Parmesan on top (it didn't need it), I used olive oil mayo, I added more broccoli than it called for (4 cups instead of 2).

Even with making my own cream of broccoli soup, this was a quick an easy meal. The only complaint I heard from the husband was that I created too many dishes.

Healthy Recipe #1

Here is a simple, delicious healthy recipe! These are southwestern style twice baked sweet potatoes. My potatoes came apart too easily from their skins, so I just dumped it all into a small casserole dish, which worked out really well! Add a side of Brussels sprouts and call it good. It ain't purty, but it's some good eatin'.
