Roasted Veggie Sweet Potato Power Bowls + Yogurt Tahini Sauce

Wow, it’s Friday already???? I have no clue what happened to this week, but it flew by.

Sorry I’m freaking out a little bit but today marks the 1 week countdown until Christmas eve, eve! Did you realize that???? I know this happens every year, and I do this same thing every year, but I’m being completely honest when I say that I’ve never had a Christmas sneak up on me like this one. I’m both extremely excited and slightly sad that it’s so close to being passed us. Not to mention I still have so many things to get done this next week, as I’m sure you do too. We clearly have all kinds of Christmasing to do this week.

But anyway, these bowls are everything you guys. First let me focus on the roasted veggies. I feel like just about any food that you roast is going to be amazing, and I’d say these veggies are killing it in proving that fact. Just yum! Then there’s the sweet potatoes, because those are always a win in my book, and the black beans, because fiber.

After that you make an extremely simple yogurt and tahini sauce to go with it. Which, I have to tell you, it’s one of my current obsessions. I just love tahini so much and all the flavor it adds! So I guess it’s maybe a good thing that this isn’t too holiday related because this is one weeknight meal you’re going to want again and again!
