So I stole this Sweet Potato Bar idea from Eat Well With Janel and now I’ll have to steal her photo as well.  I always get so excited to eat my creations that I forget to take photos for you!  We had this last night and although I thought it was a huge hit, Eric is a little more difficult to please – he’s odd about texture and isn’t a fan of sweet things.  He did eat it, so it wasn’t horrible but I LOVED it and would definitely make it again for myself when he’s not home

The short of it is…baked sweet potato topped with shredded soy cheese (Daiya) for me and regular cheese for Eric, refried beans, home made guacamole and salsa.  Although Janel says to use peach salsa I didn’t get it as I knew Eric wouldn’t eat it.  I did get (from Trader Joe’s) sweet corn salsa, roasted garlic salsa and a traditional red salsa….then just put a scoop of each on top.  For my home made guac, all I really did was mash up an avocado, add a little vegan-aise (vegan mayo) to make it creamy and then a little texas style seasonings – that contains a bit of salt (we have so many bottles of seasoning in our spice cabinet).  I didn’t go all out since it was just a little addition to something that already had tons of flavor.  Also, I baked mine as I try to avoid the microwave as much as possible – I just don’t trust what it does to my food.  Check out Jane’s blog for the full recipe.

 Enjoy – this is DELICIOUS and super healthy!
