Feed Your Soul This Thanksgiving

With all of the upheaval in our country and world right now, I'm acutely aware that there is so much to be grateful for. As we are about to gather together with family and friends, feasting on the delicious bounty that is Thanksgiving, I feel called to help children in the US whose stomachs growl daily.

Did you know that 1 in 6 children in this country struggles with hunger? Not only that, more than 13 million children in the US live in "food insecure" homes, which means there is limited or uncertain availability of safe, nutritious food at some points during the year. My heart hurts for those children who deserve to have their basic need for nourishment met.

I've launched a fundraising campaign for No Kid Hungry, an organization that makes a huge difference for hungry kids with their school breakfast program, summer meals program and after-school meals program. One hundred percent of our contribution goes directly to providing nutritious food to hungry kids so they have the energy to learn, laugh and live.

Every $10 donated helps connect hungry kids to 100 meals; $50 connects kids to over 500 nutritious meals! If you are moved as I am and would like to give this year, I hope you'll consider supporting this organization with me by donating now.

And to keep yourself nourished this holiday season, here's a fresh twist on the quintessential sweet potato. Lime is a citrusy counterpoint to the potato's sweetness, while coconut milk is a healthy non-dairy alternative to butter and cream. And grab my previous recipe for delicious, healthful Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies, if you haven't already, which you can enjoy any time. Happy, Healthy Thanksgiving!

Coconut Lime Sweet Potatoes
​

Serves 3

Print Recipe

2 jumbo sweet potatoes or yams, about 1 1/2 pounds total
5 T full fat coconut milk
1 large organic lime, zested (or 2 smaller limes)
1/4 t salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash the sweet potatoes and poke several holes in them. Here's a cooking shortcut: Microwave each sweet potato individually for 4 minutes each. This cooks them halfway. Then place them onto a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 30 minutes. When done, slice down the center of each sweet potato and let cool. 

Into a large bowl, scoop out the sweet potatoes and discard skins. Add coconut milk, 3 tablespoons of lime juice, lime zest and salt. Stir until very well combined and creamy.
