Sweet Potato Tacos

If you look at this recipe and immediately want to say, “BEANS AREN’T PALEO” you would be 100% correct! I’m so proud of you and your knowledge! But here’s the thing…I ate strict paleo for years and years and years, and I thought I was doing the best thing for my body. But then I learned about beans and their soluble fiber along with why it’s so important to the body. So I started adding in beans on a daily basis, 6-8x per day, and I’ve never felt better. My acne has almost completely disappeared, my bodily functions are better, my energy is up, my sleep is better, even my sex drive has improved. So yes, you are correct when you say beans aren’t paleo, but I’ve personally started adding them into my own diet and I’ve experienced such incredibly positive results. And because of that, I want to continue to share the recipes I’ve been making for myself and my household. If you don’t want to add the beans, merely take them out. Botta bing, botta boom.

Speaking of tacos, my best friend and I went shopping yesterday for wedding dress (don’t worry, the tacos will come back around). We went to this beautiful spot called LUV Bridal in Denver, which I highly recommend if you live here, she tried on probably 7 dresses there and she looked stunning in every single one. But the last one she tried on there was PERFECTION! I didn’t want to be crazy vocal about it because I wanted her to choose the one that she loves most, but I still made it clear that I thought she looked the best in that one. She wanted to sit on it for a little bit so we also went to another spot to try on dresses and they all sucked ass. I hope she ends up getting the dress at LUV Bridal because it fit her like it was made for her. But back to tacos…we went to grab some tacos after her appointment and there was a bit of a hairy situation there. There was a hair in my tacos. Not a long one, but a long enough one. At this point, I was almost done eating my tacos, almost completely finished when I found it. I didn’t complain because I’m not that kind of person, but I did think about showing it to the server as a little heads up. But then what was she going to do? Give me more tacos that may have a hair in them? My questions is – what would you do in this situation? What kind of hair-in-taco kind of person are you?
