From breakfast to lunch and dinner, skillet meals are one of my absolute favorite dishes to cook. Everything is in one pan, so that means little to no cleanup time. This sweet potato skillet is no different. It’s quick, easy and delicious. And, the sky is the limit when it comes to choosing ingredients for your skillet meal. Usually, you want to start with a protein of some sort. Then finish with a starch of some kind and lots of veggies.
For this sweet potato skillet, I am using spiralized sweet potatoes. After spiralizing not only will the potato cook faster, but it looks gorgeous. If you don’t have a spiralizer or you haven’t heard about spiralizing your vegetables, then you need to check out The Inspiralizer. Since I purchased my Inspiralizer last year, it has truly changed my cooking game. From spiralizing zucchini to potatoes, peppers, and onions, my creative juices are always flowing.
The Inspiralizer is different than all the other spiralizers on the market. It’s is more compact, easy to clean, and it has a noodle twister so you can change the blades using one knob. Many other spiralizers on the market you need to physically insert a new blade which makes for a very bulky design. What really sealed the deal for me, are the counter clamps. With the clamps, you are able to easily secure the Inspiralizer to just about any surface and it locks in. Making it easier to spiralize some of the toughest root vegetables.

Spiralizing is kind of therapeutic for me. It’s in a way of relaxing and it allows you to think of more creative ways of enjoying healthy meals. The Inspiralizer has truly changed so many lives and enables more people to think outside the box when in their kitchen. Which is exactly what Ali from Inspiralized had in mind when she created this tool. So, whether you love cooking or not, the spiralizer will make your life a lot easier and help you enjoy cooking a little more.

Hi I love your blog. Curious what brand of chicken apple sausage do you use and also brand of ghee. Do you know if sausage is ok for a person trying to lower ldl cholesterol?
Hi there, I would ask that you speak to a dietician or your doctor about the cholesterol piece of your question. But for the sausage, I use Aidells or Applegate chicken and apple sausages. Both brands are Whole30 friendly. I would think it would be ok for your cholesterol if you aren’t consuming a lot of it. As for ghee, I switch between Organic Valley, Omgheebutter and Tin Star foods (any of those would be great options). I hope that helps doll.
