Then I make a greek yogurt sauce with cilantro and/or just lemon. Wrap it in a brown rice torilla.

I can always use encouragement on this subject, it seems to go in ebbs and flows. I blame it on entertaining a lot and that seems like a worthy cause, but there's certainly room to improve.Roller Mill Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044250371529608714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-77360648970900967262013-01-11T10:28:20.358-06:002013-01-11T10:28:20.358-06:00I love sweet potatoes and black beans - great comb...I love sweet potatoes and black beans - great combo!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04740056176455468082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-88409075763019086182013-01-11T10:00:36.747-06:002013-01-11T10:00:36.747-06:00i can't wait to try this recipe. looks yummy! ...i can't wait to try this recipe. looks yummy!

I do try to make things like bread, hummus, and a potof beans almost every weekend- and we have been eating a lot from our freezer and canning pantry lately. I would love some tips on creating a weekly meal plan since I have never been able to get into the swing of it, despite numerous attempts :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710106273998131443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254441750897952230.post-4883438428101050222013-01-11T08:39:17.379-06:002013-01-11T08:39:17.379-06:00I'll have to try those!
