Sweet Potato Nachos
I watched a lot of football in my last relationship. Thankfully, I can watch other things (or nothing at all) now that I’m out of it. But this doesn’t exclude me from having a game day craving every once in a while; even if I’m not watching the game. So, whether or not you’re a football fan or perhaps forced to be one, if you like nachos, you’ll absolutely love these.
