Sweet Potato Cakes...

No, it's not the the new pet name for my boyfriend...it's what I made for dinner tonight!!!



Tonight, my friend Anneka came over and we made these super yummy sweet potato and black bean cakes for dinner. I was really surprised at how well they came out. I found the recipe on this blog and we all know how much I love trying out new vegetarian wares. I didn't have scallions or jalapeƱos, so I just threw in some onions and called it a day.

The only issue I ran into came when we were trying to decide what to serve it with. I threw some fresh spinach on the plate and warmed up some leftover stuffed mushrooms from a recent wedding.


It seems like my guests enjoyed themselves. This recipe is only 165 calories for two cakes, which works since I am having to count calories these days. This recipe is adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe. I love Martha these days; she has much more street cred since getting out of the slammer. However, I don't like how she constantly interrupts guests on her show (oops...I guess I just ruined my chances to be one of those guests).

INTERACT: What would you serve with my sweet potato and black bean cakes?
