Ingredients:
1 tablespoon fajita rub
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
16 ounces boneless chicken breasts cut into strips
1 large sweet or yellow onion, sliced
4 roasted bell peppers
1/2 cup fresh corn
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

Baked Sweet Potato Donuts

I tend to like my sweet potatoes more on the savory side, but this recipe just looks too good to pass up! Yes, they're donuts, but at least you're incorporating a vegetable and you're not frying them. That's worth something right? 

Ingredients:
2 cups of sweet potatoes, peeled and boiled until tender, then thoroughly drained
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp double acting baking powder
sugar coating:
2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
