This recipe was shared by one of my Food for Life participants at our final class potluck celebration. Everyone raved. Blending of beans with sweet potatoes, oranges, seasonings and kale had me craving for more. With some changes and additions to the dish, its nutrition powerhouse went up a few more notches. Enjoy over rice, millet, quinoa; the choices are endless.
