For all the Gossip Girl and former Laguna Beach fans out there I have a new show for you: NYC Prep. It premiered last night on Bravo and is a reality show that follows around several well off NYC Prep Kids. Hormone driven kids with lots of money let lose on NYC, what’s not to love? 
While discovering my new guilty pleasure I put together a tasty dinner thanks to Caitlin’s idea for Sweet Potato & Black Bean Balls.
These were so yummy and easy to make.
My version were made up of
- 1/2 cup Black Beans
- 1/2 baked Sweet Potato
- Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
- Onion
- Flax Seed
- Spoonful of Tomato Chutney
I combined all the ingredients in my food processor, formed three balls then baked in the oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
I plated the balls on a bed of spinach and topped them with verde salsa.
I had blue corn tortilla chips on the side that acted as my utensil for eating the balls.
It was the perfect combo.
Plus some juicy cantaloupe to complete the meal.
After finishing my meal and taking Abbie for a nice walk around a local park, I dug in the freezer for a sweet treat.
This is a serving of Coconut Milk Mocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream topped with a tablespoon of Chocolate is for Lovers Granola Mix. This was perfect after walking in the heat.
And just as I broke into my snack a tad earlier this morning, I did the same this afternoon. Boy have I been hungry today! Luckily the almond butter & carrots I had brought were a great hefty snack that managed to fill the missing void.
