Merry and Bright Gifts

We want to be merry about the gifts we purchase. Right? But sometimes it doesn’t feel so merry when our dollars don’t seem to stretch as far as we would like.

During the month of December, we have been offering some special deals through our blog to help you feel a little less s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d.

This week our deal is designed to make you feel “bright” about your gift purchase. In fact, you will feel brilliant!

Here’s an easy recipe for the family. Make this together for family fun.

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

2 medium sweet potatoes, cut in half lengthwise

3 cups of shredded or chopped cooked chicken

2 cups of cooked broccoli, finely chopped

½ cup of barbecue sauce, divide this in half

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

¼ cup sliced green onions (optional)

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes cut side up on a foil lined baking sheet. Roast the potatoes until tender. About 40 minutes.

Stir together cooked, shredded chicken, and cooked, chopped broccoli and ¼ cup of the barbecue sauce. You can add more if it seems too dry. Heat over medium-low heat in a medium saucepan, until warmed throughout. About 8 minutes.

Top each cooked sweet potato with the chicken mixture. Drizzle with barbecue sauce and top with green onions, parsley and parmesan cheese.

Put your potato toppings in dishes and let your family top their own.

For a vegetarian dish, omit the chicken, add another vegie like corn, tomatoes, or whatever you like.

Enjoy!

I hope I helped to make your spirits bright.

I’ll be back next week with one more December Deal
