These loaded sweet potato breakfast nachos are vegan, gluten free, filled with protein, and make for a great weekend brunch!
Wanna know a fun fact about me? I absolutely LOVE reading. Yup, I’m a total nerd. Every night I make it a point to read for at least 30 minutes. Maybe not right before bed, but usually sometime between dinner and lights out. I’ve found that it relaxes me and puts me at ease, no matter what I’m doing. My favorite kind of books are mystery- no surprise. My favorite series? The Alex Cross series by James Patterson!
Right now, I’m re-reading The Book of Basketball, by Bill Simmons, which is another total nerd move. It’s over 700 pages of pure sports, which you guys know I love. I bring all this up because this book brings me so much JOY. Pure. Joy. I’ve read it three times, and each time I learn more about the sport and the history of the league. Again, total nerd move, but I love it! I read it while at work, because it kills time and I hate being on my computer too much, so it gives me a break from technology.
For those wondering- I’m spending the summer working as a nanny for a non verbal autistic boy 🙂
I used to struggle with finding pure joy in things. During high school, I did so many things to fulfill a social norm, pass a class, or earn a credit. I struggled to find what truly made me happy, and it wasn’t until I started blogging more full time that I found that. This blog brings me pure JOY. Talking about plants, desserts, and the need to stop cutting carbs excited me everyday. Sure, there are days when the last thing I want to do is make a Pinterest photo or delete ANOTHER tea detox email, but in the end, I end the work days smiling and fulfilled.
With all that being said, I encourage you to find things that bring you joy. They may not be normal, and they may be “boring”, but if you love them, then f all the social norms. For example, these vegan breakfast nachos bring me JOY because nothing says relaxing than with a big plate of nachos.
These bad boys are filled with tofu, black beans, caramelized onions, bell pepper, corn, and the best part… sweet potatoes! The great things about these is that you can make everything all at once (if you have multiple burners- if not, they may just take a little more time, but that’s okay!) They come together in under 45 minutes and make for the PERFECT savory brunch option. You guys know I’m a sweet > savory gal, so when I opt for a savory dish, you know it’s a good one.

I used to make breakfast style sweet potato nachos every day! They were DELICIOUS with fruit and nut butters! I definitely have to start making them again!

It’s so good that you found things that bring you joy in life. Unfortunately, this is not always easy to accomplish and I feel that some people even go a lifetime without being able to achieve this.
As for these breakfast nachos. . .well. . .this is a breakfast I definitely could get used to. I love that you use sweet potatoes in lieu of standard tortilla chips.
thank you!!
