BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls

You are probably wondering why in the world I haven’t posted a recipe in a while. Well the truth is life has been crazy. These last 2 months have been consumed with house projects, work and our wedding which is coming up in October. Where does time go? I have been trying to get back on the cooking every night train, but at the end of the day I have been a bit exhausted. I made these BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls the other week and they were heavenly, and I didn’t feel guilty eating it (not going to break the wedding dress). 

It has been quite the struggle to find foods lately that don’t bloat me and keep me on a healthy track towards the wedding. I have said this a million times, but I am not trying to loose weight for our wedding. I am only trying to tone up and maintain my weight. These BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Bowls were heavenly and filled up my tummy.
