Sweet Potato, Kale and White Beans - Simplified!
• 4 sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 (4-inch) sprig fresh rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Juice of 1/4 lemon
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 6 cups kale, trimmed and sliced into ribbons
• 1 1/2 cups (or 1 can) cooked and drained white beans
Preheat oven to 400°F
Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick them in a few places with a fork.
Place them on a baking sheet and bake until soft all the way through,
about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Start the beans and greens about 15 to 20
minutes before the sweet potatoes are done. In a wide, deep saucepan
with a cover, heat the olive oil over low-moderate heat. Add the shallots
and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary sprig,
and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add the
beans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the kale, cover
the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until
the kale is soft. Remove the rosemary sprig, stir in the lemon juice, and
season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, slice each sweet potato
lengthwise and push on the ends to open up the middle. Spoon the
beans and greens into the center. Serves 4

• Do you enjoy a wide variety of foods and are you open to all foods, no longer
categorizing foods as good or bad?
• Are you open to focusing on honoring hunger and eating in regular intervals to keep
yourself satisfied?
• And, honoring fullness, trying to stop when your body is comfortably full?
• Are you open to not calorie counting and focusing more on food composition and
making sure your body is getting the right amounts of key nutrients?

• Are you open to moving your body in a variety of ways and open to not focusing on
calories burned during exercise?….Exercise shouldn’t have to hurt to help your body…
it should be fun!
• Are you open to commenting less about people’s body weight or choices with food,
not judging other’s by physical observations?
• Can you accept different health values, varying approaches to health, and be patient
with varying degrees of progress?
