I had dinner with a sweet new friend this week. Who coincidentally got put in my small group at church.
And we have lots in common.
What a nice little reminder that God is orchestrating something CrazyWonderful up there.
And that there is no such thing as a coincidence with God.
So this week when I stumbled across these Healthy Sweet Potato Skins at Pinch of Yum I knew it was no coincidence.
In my fridge sat one half of a sweet potato I had cooked 2 nights ago.
It was sad and lonely and needed some excitement.
So, rather than the usual brown sugar and butter topping, I added some crazy to it.
And when I saw some of the ingredients: sweet potato, spinach, chickpeas.... I thought, this sounds kinda funky.
And it is. Funky. Like nothing you've ever eaten before.
In all the best ways.
Creamy and savory, with a little kick, it is the perfect thing to make with your sweet potatoes.
AND according to Pinch of Yum its healthy.
Everyone wins.
