Hi there!
It’s a NEW YEAR, and a NEW DECADE!
How are you heading into the roaring 20s? I’m continuing my ongoing health journey! I am so thankful for all of the progress I have made so far, and grateful for the ability to move my body and breathe the fresh air of Rim Country each day. I realize what a precious gift it is as each year goes by, and my resolution this year is to be mindful of the gift of health, and work hard to preserve it! The healthier we are, the more we are able to give out to our family, friends and community. In the end, isn’t that the best part of being alive?
So, cheers to your journey and mine, friends! To a healthy, wealthy, and vibrant 2020!
Happy New Year!

Miso-Maple Sweet Potato Tacos
Topped with a creamy cilantro-coconut sauce.
Ingredients
For the sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons miso paste
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled and chopped into small cubes
1 small red onion, chopped
Olive oil
Taco fixing options
Corn tortillas, 2 to 3 per person
Avocado, sliced
Sprouts
Cilantro
Chopped scallions
Toasted pepitas
Cilantro-coconut sauce
½ cup light coconut milk
¼ cup cilantro leaves
¼ cup basil leaves
1 scallion, green and white parts, chopped
¼ cup toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 small garlic clove
Splash of Sriracha hot sauce (optional)
Pinch of sugar (optional)
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
How to Make It
Heat oven to 400°F. Whisk the miso paste, maple syrup, and vinegar together in a small bowl. Spread sweet potatoes and onions in a single layer on a baking sheet (you might need 2 baking sheets). Drizzle with a little olive oil, and then liberally brush the glaze over the vegetables.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes. The time will vary depending on the heat of your oven and the size of your sweet potato cubes. The onions will likely be done first so be sure to watch and take them out when they’re nicely browned but not burnt. When the sweet potatoes are finished, remove from the oven, taste and add another brushing of glaze if you wish.
Fun Stuff!
