    One Pot Sweet Potato Kale Quinoa Skillet that will be ready in under 30 minutes from Lauren Kelly Nutrition.

    This Sweet Potato Skillet is so nutritious and delicious. I love a hearty, healthy dish that can easily be prepared in one pot that is ready in under 30 minutes!

    Halloween is over.  It was a great day here in the Kelly house, but boy am I exhausted.

    All 3 of my little guys want to be in different places and I am left trying to coordinate everything.  So as fun as it is (and I kept reminding myself to look at it through their excited little eyes), I am happy it's over.

    Maybe I am just getting old and crotchety but it's one long day.

    So now it's all about Thanksgiving.   And side dishes.  Lots and lots of delectable side dishes.

    I'd say this could be a holiday side dish, but since there are quinoa and beans in here, this would also qualify as a nutritious, meatless main dish.

    Shout out to my vegans out there! Heeeeeeey!

    If you are looking for some more healthy quinoa recipes, you will love this Green Bean Quinoa Casserole, Sweet Potato Brussels Sprouts Quinoa Bowls, Spinach Artichoke Quinoa Bites and this Spiralized Beet Quinoa Salad! These would all be even more delicious with a Mojito Spritzer, Cranberry Mojito and definitely this Spiked Apple Cider!

    Why You Should Make This Sweet Potato Skillet

    With the holidays coming up, I am all about making life easier.  This recipe calls for one dish and that's it.  Super easy and less clean up!  We are busy enough around the holidays so I appreciate any free time I can get.

    I am always looking for easy, healthy recipes that I can whip up on a weeknight, especially ones that only use on e pan.

    You can easily customize this recipe to your liking and to what you have in the house. Substitute butternut squash for sweet potato, spinach or arugula for the kale or black beans instead of white beans.

    This recipe is so customizable, you just need to get creative.

      I feel healthier just by looking at it. I was skeptical about using baby kale and almost opted for spinach, but I was pleased. Thanks for the healthy recipe.
