Sweet potato and olive salad

Olives are awesome! They add flavor to our dishes, but they also have amazing health benefits such as: supporting eye health, reducing seasonal allergies, decreasing the rick of developing diabetes, promoting blood vessels function and gut health, and preventing infections.

Spinach with butter beans

This recipe for spinach and butter beans is seriously good, you guys. Butter beans, lima beans, sieva beans, however you choose to call them, they’re delicious and healthy.

Broadly, the term “butter bean” is used for a large, flat, and white or yellow variation of lima bean.
