Step by Step Guide: Kale and Goat Cheese Sweet Potato

Here is the first installment of my "Healthy Life" series for the next 21 days (feel free to disregard my Macaron post earlier). I made this recipe for the very first time today and it is amazing. Even Mr. M likes it...which is rare because he isn't a huge fan of kale or sweet potatoes. It was the involvement of goat cheese that won him over.

Recipe: Kale and Goat Cheese Sweet Potato

Source: Veggie Belly

Ingredients
2 lb (about 2 large) sweet potatoes or garnet yams
4 cups shredded kale
4 oz goat cheese
1 cup milk
Salt, freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions:

1. Peel the sweet potato or yams. Cut into even sized 1 inch cubes.

2. Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot filled with water. Boil uncovered for 15 minutes or till they are very soft.Drain the sweet potatoes well and leave them in the colander.

3. In the same pot, add the kale, goats cheese and milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer till the kale has just wilted. Add salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

4. Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the hot kale and milk. Mash well. If the mashed sweet potato is too thick, add more milk to thin it out to your liking. I had mine for dinner tonight with brussel sprouts!
