Words don’t describe what its like to meet the people who started this movement. To name a few I met Mark Sisson (Mark’s Daily Apple), Dave Asprey (creator of Bulletproof coffee), Melissa and Dallas Hartwig (creators of the Whole30 program), and Nell Stephenson (The Paleoista, basically Loren Cordain’s spokesperson).

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

By 10 Comments

Twice baked sweet potatoes, you say? Yes! And this recipe is so good. These Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are easy to make and incredibly flavorful!

I usually like my sweet potatoes sweet, but sometimes I like them savory, like in this recipe below and in my Sweet Potato Hash Browns. This recipe below was inspired by my friends when they were making twice baked white potatoes the other night. They had gotten through most of the recipe and said, “What is it missing?” I answered “an egg for binding!” They praised the idea, and their potatoes came out amazing.
