Sweet potato muffins:

I had some issues with this recipe. My average size blender could not accommodate all the ingredients so I switched to a bowl and hand mixer. I substituted peanut butter since I didn't have almond butter. The batter was extremely thick so I added an additional 1/3 cup liquid. That said, the flavor was really good - not too sweet, and the hint of nutmeg was delightful. I think I would want to add more spices next time. My batch yielded 14 muffins, so I'll be freezing half for a future easy on-the-go meal or snack.
Spicy Black Bean and Corn Salad:
1 can black beans, drained
1 can whole kernel corn (I used 2 cobs fresh)
4 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese
3/4 cup scallions (@ 3 stalks)
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1 small red bell pepper, diced
3/4 cup picante sauce (I didn't have picante, but used salsa and added harissa paste and cayenne)
2 TBSP vegetable oil (I used olive il)
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate. Better when made ahead.
