Kids are back in school, and so are the after-school activities—football, band, tutoring, cross-country…you name it. It’s happening, and practice times certainly are not revolving around what is convenient for you.
That's why I’m starting my Busy Night Recipe Series. For the next few weeks, I will share quick, bare-minimum recipes that provide peak nourishment to fuel your busy family.
Up first are my Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Veggies. Everyone loves sweet potatoes, especially when loaded with coconut oil and cinnamon, to make them taste like dessert. But even better—you will love that they shield your family from back-to-school sicknesses, thanks to the vitamin C and beta carotene they provide.
This recipe makes for amazing leftovers, so I would just chop up everything you have.
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato for every family member
- Whatever veggies you have in the fridge—onions, mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, etc.
- Coconut oil
- Cinnamon
- Himalayan Pink Salt
- (Optional) Coconut liquid aminos
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Chop up veggies and sweet potatoes.
- Spread coconut oil across the pan and place the potatoes and veggies on it. Optional: drizzle coconut liquid aminos over the veggies.
- Sprinkle Himalayan Pink Salt and pepper over everything.
- Cook for 45 minutes at 350 degrees and do whatever you need to transition from work/afterschool sports to home—showers, homework, etc.
- Take the pan out and sprinkle cinnamon on the sweet potatoes.
- Serve your family a delicious, filling, and sickness-preventing meal!
Another super easy way to PREVENT the back-to-school and winter sickies is by taking Vitamin D daily.
It’s by far one of THE BEST WAYS TO BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. And it just gets better—Vitamin D improves mood, optimizes brain performance, and strengthens bones.
I honestly can’t recommend it enough, especially at this time of year.
