Tips for the Perfect Sweet Potato & Spinach Bake

Pre-cook the sweet potatoes : Steaming or lightly boiling them ensures they become tender and bake evenly.
Sauté the spinach :This prevents excess moisture in the bake and enhances the flavor.
Season generously : Sweet potatoes have a natural sweetness, so balancing with spices like paprika, garlic powder, or a pinch of nutmeg can enhance depth.
Add cheese for creaminess : Feta, goat cheese, or shredded cheddar can add a delicious creamy contrast.
Make it protein-packed : Add cooked bacon, turkey sausage, or chickpeas for extra protein.
Let it cool before slicing : This helps the bake set and makes serving easier.

  14. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
