Southwestern Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins

I wish every Sunday could be Superbowl Sunday. As long as the Pats are playing. And winning. And I get to stare at Julian Edelman for hours on end…

MMMM JULIAN.

Wait, where was I going with this?

Oh, yes. I am STILL reliving that amazing night from two weeks ago. Julian sticks out in my mind the most. Freaking out, crying and screaming with my closest friends is a close second. And these stuffed sweet potatoes with cashew queso are arguably in third place.

Scratch that. I have plenty of other memories with my friends. These incredible (insert Incredleman reference here) sweet potatoes earn the runner up spot. I couldn’t get enough of them Superbowl night and I’ve been enjoying them frequently ever since. Luckily, they’re a cinch to make and are made with common ingredients I almost always have on hand. 

Don’t wait til next season-try them now!
