Inspiration + {Cheesy Sweet Potato "Fettuccini"}

Remember how I said I wasn't in my groove? How I wasn't inspired to cook healthy meals let alone eat them?  How with all the moving preparation and packing and shock of my mountain dream home turning into a nightmare that I'd just been stuffing my face with peanut butter and honey sandwiches?  Well that all changed yesterday when I was perusing some of my favorite blogs and came across that bit of encouragement and rejuvination that I needed.  Katie from Yes, I Want Cake shared her recent inspiration from Southern Living magazine: noodles made from sweet potatoes.

Yes, Please!

I probably would have made her version to the T, except that with all this packing going on I was missing a lot of the ingredients.  No broth, no nutmeg, no pecans...but I did have two sweet potatoes sitting on the counter.

So, here is an alternate cheesy version for you:

I didn't have a nice spiralizer (even hiding in a box), so I just further "peeled" the sweet potato into little thin strips, after first removing the outer skin.

This recipe is so easy that I threw it together for a quick weekday lunch for Babycakes and myself.  The hardest part of the whole thing was digging out the box with a non-stick pan!!  I loved the flavor. I loved the consistency. And I loved the fact that they weren't really noodles.

Thank you Katie, for rescuing me out of my little peanut butter pity party!!

I love this idea. I like using zucchini for noodles . . . I've never thought about sweet potato. Very cool--and the recipe sounds very good.

I was just inspired a few minute ago by a post on Cotter Crunch. Definitely a "must read". :)

I think we all might be out of our groove lately! Life is hectic! The recipe looks great! I am going to definitely try this! Next on my list is lasagna with butternut squash noodles! And what is it about Peanut butter and honey or jelly that is just so satisfying? We have been eating it her too! Good luck with everything you have going on right now!

LOVE THIS! I made noodles from zucchini for my little guy last week, but he loves sweet potatoes. I want to try this! Thanks for sharing!

Oh. That is so genius. Guess what I made tonight? THE SLOW COOKER LASAGNA. So good.

soooo brilliant. I'm going to have to make this. I remember when Katie did something similar, and now I need to make hers too.

Both yours & Katie's recipes look yummy! I've been eating lots of sweet potato meals recently, but haven't tried noodles yet. Looks great!
