Hey Reader, This dinner recipe is gaining popularity on Roots and Radishes right now, and for good reason! Sweet potato bowls with ground chicken taco meat: they sounds so basic, but they're truly awesome. And especially perfect for weeknight meals! The bowl base is a combo of roasted sweet potato cubes, greens, and optional grains if you'd like/have time. And the protein is a tender ground chicken taco meat simmered with salsa and black beans. No dry and crumbly taco meat here! For toppings (very important), I love avocado, feta, cilantro, pepitas, pickled red onions, and tortilla chips. Now you've got a simple yet nourishing dinner the whole family will love! Bonus points for awesome lunch leftovers the next day.

I'll eat them while they're available, but that's one thing about having a realistic approach to eating seasonally—you don't have to eat strictly seasonally, only locally, all the time. If you do, amazing. But I think I live...
Hey Reader, How are you at planning ahead and/or prepping for meals? Do you like doing it? I wouldn't say I'm a consistent meal planner or meal prep person, but when possible, I do like to have 1-2 of the following prepped for the week: proteins, grains, and/or beans (cooked from dried). They simplify weekly meals so much, plus they can be adapted with any seasonal veggies available. And this Instant Pot peperoncini chicken has been on repeat at my house for that exact purpose. It's truly a...
