Simply Staples: Sweet Potato Corn Pudding

Sweet potatoes...or yams...or sweet potatoes.

For the longest time, I had no idea what the difference was between yams and sweet potatoes. So, I took it to google and found this lovely article by the Huffington Post.

Now that you know, you can make this delicious staple recipe that I love. It takes a little more time in preparation, but it’s still quite easy. 

Sweet Potato Corn Pudding

2 large sweet potatoes

1 cup frozen corn

1/3 cup almond milk 

a few dashes of cinnamon

Steam and peel the sweet potatoes. Let them cool. 

Defrost the corn. Add all ingredients to blender. Blend.  

Hmmm...perfect for fall (just the BEST season of the year!). I'll be working on pumpkin recipes next....

Happy Fall!!!

Simple Staples: Vegetable Quinoa

I have a few simple recipes (I guess you could call them side dishes) that I use frequently. They don’t take much time or preparation, and I usually have the ingredients on hand. This vegetable quinoa is one of my favorites! It requires very little preparation.

Vegetable Quinoa 

1 1/2 cups quinoa
1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh chopped vegetables (I used a bell pepper, green beans, peas, and carrots)
3 cups vegetable broth

Throw everything in a rice cooker till it finishes and you have lovely, fluffy quinoa.
