Paleo Baked Sweet Potatoes
A few years ago I decided to try the Paleo way of life. I quit all grains and most sugar 🙂 to see if the results people talk about on the interwebs was really true. I decided to dedicate myself to it for at least 30 days. At the end of my trial I really happy with the results and discovered some great recipes. Paleo Baked Sweet Potatoes became one of our families favorites.
My mind seemed clearer, I feel happier on a daily basis and have lost a couple pounds along the way. Not bad if I do say so. In the past I would get the low carb shakes on certain diets but never got them on this one.
Paleo is considered to be a lifestyle, not a diet, and now I can see why. You never felt deprived because you can eat almost as much as you want of the Paleo approved foods. Since then we have migrated to a Vegan based diet. This recipe is both Vegan and Paleo so I am including it in my monthly meal rotations. Have you a tried Paleo or Vegan lifestyle? What were your results? I would love to hear your thoughts.
As I journey down the winding caveman path, I have discovered a new family favorite – SWEET POTATOES. I have never really cooked sweet potatoes much before now but have found some of the best ways to enjoy them. One being Vegan – Paleo Oven Baked Sweet Potatoes.
