Corned Beef Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Corned Beef Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a festive and easy meal to make for Saint Patrick’s Day! 

Good news. 

We are less than a week away from St. Paddy’s Day. 

Are you excited? 

Not that I am into drinking green beer all day, but I am stoked to dress up in festive attire. I have a cute outfit for Charlie to sport and for Juniper, well, I’m bringing back an oldie. Why is it so fun to dress up a dog and a baby? 

Do you have plans to celebrate your 1/16th Irish heritage? I wanted to take Charlie to the St. Paddy’s Day parade, but they canceled that sh$t because of the virus. Talk about a frustrating situation. I know we will get through this pandemic. It’s just the longer this thing lingers and more conflicting messages come out from the CDC the worst it will get. 

So, instead of venturing out to celebrate we will be hunkering in and making these  Corned Beef Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. I thought about stuffing all the corned beef deliciousness into a regular russet potato, but I had some leftover sweet potatoes since I’ve started baby led weaning with Charlie. 

I must say it’s so fun to watch her swat food, put said food into her mouth, and watch her reaction as she tries to make sense of the taste. Fingers crossed she will like food! Anyway, this recipe is super simple. Bake the sweet potatoes like you normally would and then stuff them with sauteed cabbage, deli corned beef (or you could use my slow cow cooker corned beef method), and sauerkraut. That’s it!  

More good news? 

These taters pair well with green beer and some minty brownies that are coming your way on Monday!
