Baked Sweet Potatoes: Baked and Stuffed with Feta and Sundried Tomatoes
I have a confession: the thought of a sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows makes me gag.
That’s right. I said it.
There has always been that dilemma when you go to someone’s house for Thanksgiving or Christmas and there it is. With a more prominent place than the turkey.
It’s too sweet.
It’s…got marshmallows on it.
It’s not right.
Yes, I am a sweet potato snob.
If and when I do decide to eat them, most of the time, I just throw some butter on the top of a baked sweet potato and keep it moving.
But I figured you guys already knew about that. *side-eye if you don’t*
But for the grown ups…those who want a sweet baked potato with a twist..I bring you…..
Baked Sweet Potatoes: Stuffed with Feta and Sundried tomatoes.

And I now have a new appreciation for sundried tomatoes. I mean guys……it was sweet with the sharp taste of the feta and the savory taste of the sundried tomatoes.
I’m drooling as I write this and I’m thinking I’m going to have this for lunch later on. Cause….
