Back to the point of this post...

Do you ever find yourself with a full fridge that feels empty? I had one of those nights where I wasn't interested in taking time to prepare a "real" dinner. Instead I scoured the cupboards and my brain for a quick and easy recipe. It doesn't get any easier then these baked beans and sweet potatoes. Filling and nutrient-rich this recipe does the trick and yields leftovers. Double win.

Ingredients:
2 baked sweet potatoes
1 can white kidney beans
1/2 Tbs. olive oil
1 yellow onion
2 c. frozen broccoli
2 garlic cloves
1 Tbs. low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbs. agave nectar
1/2 c. vegetable broth
1 Tbs. organic bbq sauce
salt
pepper

Directions:

1. Chop onion and saute in olive oil.

2. Clean, poke, and microwave sweet potatoes in two minute increments until cooked.

3. Add chopped garlic and broccoli.

4. Toss veggies with a dash of salt and pepper.

5. Rinse beans, and add can to pan.

6. Mix contents and add soy sauce, veggie broth, bbq sauce, and agave nectar.

7. Turn heat on high for a few seconds. When sauce bubbles, turn down and stir.

8. Cut sweet potato in half and spread bbq beans over top.
