AMAZING!!! New to healthy eating and I’ve never been a fan of cooked peppers or sweet potatoes…..but that has changed! All of the flavors together is perfect! I heated one up in the microwave for leftovers at lunch and it was just as good. Will definitely be one of my go-tos.
Hi! Is there a way to have the calorie count on your recipes? I’m trying to eat a calorie deficient diet and it would be easier to see by meal instead of trying to calculate the individual ingredients. Thanks!
This is the best recipe! I make a few substitutions though. My family likes rice instead of sweet potato, and im not a fan of mushrooms.. I love this recipe so much because not only does it taste amazing, but it freezes REALLY WELL!!! I made multiple batches last year and we ate them all through the winter! My favorite!
