Sweet potatoes with tomatoes and collard greens

006

It's February. WOW! Where has the time gone.

 I feel as if I blinked and January was over. Just like that.

 Alex says we need to step up our healthy living goals. 

 We are going to focus on eating better and exercising more. A lot more. 

 Step one make a vegan dish to take to school for lunch this week. 

 Enter this recipe from Hungry Meets Healthy.

Here is my version.

  1. Years ago, I would never have thought of combining sweet potatoes and something green and now, I do it all the time, and it is good. Your combo looks great. Thanks for sharing with My Meatless Mondays.
