#MyHouseSmellsLikeBurntPlastic

Yep, that happened today. I’m a little concerned about my other clean dishes that were in the dishwasher at the time. Can I rewash them or are they contaminated with burnt plastic fumes?? Anybody an expert on this? I hope not cause that means you’ve had the same experience, but for my sake I hope you’ve had this happen so you can help me!!

I’m gonna just push this little incident out of my mind (until the next time I run the dishwasher and have to smell the remnants of the melted plastic). Moving on to bigger and better things. Things like finishing Season 1 of Friday Night Lights or that time Rory got arrested in Gilmore Girls. Things like finally getting Snapchat (follow me @kitschencat) and snapping pics of yummy sushi bowls and the goofy cats that always have to be in the kitchen anytime I am. Things like a week of morning thunderstorms and beautifully sunny afternoons 🙂 All of those things.

Oh! And also, things like these Spinach Artichoke Twice Baked Sweet Potato Skins!! Especially things like these.

I used my pressure cooker to cook my sweet potatoes and they turned out wonderfully as always! They only take 20-25 minutes in the pressure cooker depending on size of the potato and the best part of the situation for me is that I don’t have to have my oven turned on that whole time. This is especially awesome as it seems to be getting just a teensy bit hotter every day and will be 195 degrees before I know it!!

The recipe below is written for those of you who are pressure cooker lovers, but if you want to go the oven route, you can bake your whole sweet potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees for 45-60 minutes. **Don’t forget to pierce them all over with a fork!!

Underneath the layer of cheese is a world of amazingness. Spinach, chopped artichokes, a sweet potato mash with greek yogurt, green onions, and turkey bacon. If you buy the biggest sweet potatoes you can find (like I did), you can definitely make these into a full meal. No sides necessary.
