Paleo Vegan Maple Glazed Sweet Potato

Ohh my goodness, you guys. I am so impressed with how well this meal came out. Jeff said that it was restaurant quality. I’ll take that as a huge success! Since going (almost) vegan, I have had to push myself to find healthy options that are not bland and boring (ahem, chickpea pasta). Before removing meat from my diet, I was a protein and vegetables type of gal – with the intention to be healthy and toned as I worked on building muscle for an athletic physique. I still have the same health goals, exercise 5 days per week, and try to live a mostly paleo/gluten free lifestyle. This is harder to do as a vegan. So, when I came across a similar recipe to this one on Instagram (@letscookvegan), I had to try it for myself with some tweaks to make it paleo and vegan.

What you’ll need:

+ 2 large sweet potatoes or jewel yams (I used jewel yams)

+ 2 bunches of bok choy

+ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

+ 1/2 cup sugar free/gluten free miso paste (Here is the one that I use)

+ 1.5 tablespoons tamari

+ 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

+ 1 teaspoon chili paste

+ 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

+ 1/2 cup vegan butter (Here is what I use)

Directions:

+ Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

+ Cut sweet potato into 2-3 inch thin pieces

+ Toss sweet potato slices with olive oil and place in the oven. Bake for 40 minutes.

+ While sweet potato is baking, mix together 1/4 cup miso paste, 1 tablespoon tamari, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon chili paste.

+ Remove sweet potato from the oven and pour sauce mixture over the sweet potato pieces. Let marinate for 20 minutes.

+ While marinating the sweet potato, chop the bok choy into small pieces. Sauté with olive oil or vegan butter for 3 minutes until soft, remove from heat.

+ Put the sweet potato pieces covered in sauce in a large pan and cook on stove top for 8 minutes.

+ While sweet potato is cooking on the stove, melt 1/2 cup of vegan butter in a pan. Add 1/2 a tablespoon of tamari to the butter, 1/2 tablespoon of diced garlic, then 1/4 miso paste. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes.

+ Pour desired amount of miso butter mixture onto a plate. Add the bok choy, then top with a few sweet potato pieces. 

That’s it! The process might sound long and daunting, but it really only took 45 minutes including cooking time. 

Next on my list of vegan foods to try is cashew butter. Let me know if you’ve tried it in the comments below!

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections.

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖
