As I said in my recent post, My One Week Food Stamps Experience Project, I am adding a budget-friendly recipe section to my website. This Sweet Potatoes, Black Beans, & Avocado recipe is my second budget-friendly recipe. You can find all of my budget-friendly recipes here. This meal is balanced with protein, healthy fat, and fiber. It is both nutrient-dense and satiating. I personally love this recipe because it’s super easy to make and tastes delicious!
