Some Sweet Ways to Celebrate Earth Day
April is one of our favorite months around here because we have a deep rooted love for Earth Day and celebrate it with some delicious vegetarian and vegan sweetpotato recipes! Did you know that giving up meat just once a week can minimize water usage, reduce greenhouse gases and limit fuel dependence? Not to mention, eating less meat can improve your health and make your wallet just a little happier. For all of you carnivores, we think these sweetpotato recipes may finally convert you!
Our Maple Sweetpotato Pecan Burgers are certainly not your average veggie burger! A little bit of sweet and a little bit of savory makes our mouths water (just look at the charring on the side!). Plus, you won’t have to feel guilty with all of the nutrition from quinoa and, of course, sweetpotatoes.
If you’re looking to kick up your usual Mexican dishes, why not try this Sweetpotato Black Bean Quesadilla by Well Plated for a fun lunch of appetizer? We’re in love with the idea of mixing the sweetpotatoes and black beans with seasoning for more of a spread, and bonus points to those folks who come up with the most delicious add-ons! (Avocado and cilantro anyone?)
We know y’all can’t say no to Natural Comfort Kitchen’s Mediterranean Sweetpotato Pizza for dinner tonight. It’s healthy, yummy and let’s be honest just plain beautiful! We promise that you definitely won’t miss the meat and this is a meal the whole family will love.
How are y’all celebrating Earth Day this year? Be sure to tag us in your sweet tater photos!
