Happy TUESDAY! ((I know… whaaat?!))… I rarely pop in on Tuesdays but it’s Recipe Redux time so haiiiii! This month’s theme is so freakin’ fun… we’re SPRING CLEANING…

Cook with at least 3 ingredients that are actually in your refrigerator or pantry right now. Try not to go to the store to buy anything new. Give tips on how to make a healthy dish out of whatever you have on-hand.

I’m alllll about making meals from what I have on hand because it reduces waste, prevents things from sitting in my pantry or freezer past their expiration date, and well, to be honest I don’t always make it to the grocery store on time, so this theme was perfect for me!

Not to mention, Passover is coming so cleaning out my pantry (especially from bread and grains) was bound to happen sooner or later!

So meet this delicious Baked Sweet Potato French Toast Casserole that will literally wow your socks off.

I’m not exactly sure how it happened but overnight we had like 3 loaves of bread in the freezer. I haven’t really been on a toast kick lately so I guess it piled up, and one way to use it up quickly was to french toast all of it… casserole style!

You too can make a healthy dish from whatever you have going on in your pantry, fridge and freezer if you follow these three tips…

• Look for a source of protein and fiber and mix ‘em together. This balance of nutrients is ideal for a healthy meal!
• Stock the basics (with far-off expiration dates) in your pantry, fridge and freezer at all times. We usually always have a dozen eggs in the fridge, some frozen veggies, fruit and bread in the freezer and a bunch of canned beans and dry grains in our pantry. I consider this the bare minimum for us so we can always throw SOMETHING together. Your staples might be slightly different and that’s OK too!
• Think outside the box. Sure a french toast casserole isn’t too crazy, but I had a can of sweet potato puree hanging around from last fall so I decided to throw it in there to boost the nutrition.

I like to say that healthy eating can be nutritiously delicious … you don’t have to compromise flavor for nutrition! And you shouldn’t!
