Gluten Free Sweet Potato, Egg, & Kale Stacks

This is a quick and delicious gluten free meal, perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Combining sweet potatoes with savory cheddar, a runny egg and charred kale packs a flavor and nutritional punch that will have you craving more.

I am lucky enough to have some friends that I have known my whole life. Do you have any of those kind of friends? These girls have been with me through so much. It doesn't matter how long we are apart; it always feel like home to be together.

One of those people is my friend Michelle of Michelle VanTine Photography. We met in preschool and her mom was my teacher. Her parents were missionaries in Quebec and they came back to the states every several years. We went to preschool, one year in elementary school, 7th grade and 12th grade together in addition to keeping in touch in between.

There are so many things that I love about Michelle. She is naturally artistic and sees the world in an amazingly fun way. This therefore pushes me out of my comfort zone a lot, but in a good a way. We shared a love of volleyball and played together our senior year of high school. She speaks fluent French and I sort of love it when she starts rambling off (particularly when she's mad). But the coolest thing about Michelle is that we share the same birthday! I mean, come on, we were destined to be forever friends.

I could go on and on about the fun times and sweet moments of life we have shared, but it would take a really long time. Instead, I want to share with you about a special food-photography time we had together over the Thanksgiving holiday. She is a professional photographer and I wanted to learn some food photography tips and tricks from her. {Exciting news is she helped me find a DSLR used camera in my budget!!!}

Since we both have 2 kids now and are working, entrepreneurial women, finding time to just cook and shoot together is not easy.

We spent an afternoon together catching up, cooking and photographing our food. It was so much fun. She shared a few of her favorite go-to gluten free recipes with me and I am really excited to share them with you. Today is the first and I think my favorite.

They are easy and really delicious. Michelle has been eating gluten free for a year and has found that she just feels better when she does.

Michelle prefers foods that are naturally gluten free instead of "gluten free products". She and I both regularly cook with such foods like kale, sweet potatoes, quinoa, eggs, and peppers. I discovered that we share a love for Cabot cheddar cheese too. =)

We both hope that you enjoy todays' recipe of Sweet Potato, Egg and Kale Stacks. I'm not joking when I say it so stinkin delicious. It's loaded with superfoods too so it's a WIN for both your body and well-being.

Thank you Michelle for taking the time to cook with me and teach me some of your best tricks! Please check out her website and if you are looking for an incredibly talented photographer, she's your girl.

Enjoy!
