- Prep 1 pound Ground Pork ($5.99), 2 medium Organic Orange Sweet Potatoes ($2.54), 1 package Organic Baby Bok Choy ($2.99, about 3 heads), 1 package sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms ($2.99, 8 ounces), 2 stalks Green Onion ($1.39), sliced, 1 Lime ($0.59), and 2 tablespoons chopped Cilantro Bunch ($0.99). Also gather 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired from pantry.
- Slice the 2 medium Organic Orange Sweet Potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds. Toss the sweet potato rounds with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Roast on a sheet pan in a 425°F oven for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping once, until tender and browned at the edges.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, trim the 1 package Organic Baby Bok Choy and chop the stems and leaves into bite-size pieces. Pat the 1 pound Ground Pork dry if needed.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Add the 1 pound Ground Pork and cook 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Season with a small pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Add the 1 package sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms and the chopped stems from the 1 package Organic Baby Bok Choy to the skillet. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms soften. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using.
- Add the leafy tops from the 1 package Organic Baby Bok Choy and the 2 sliced stalks Green Onion. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted. Squeeze in half of the 1 Lime.
- Plate the roasted 2 medium Organic Orange Sweet Potato rounds, then spoon the ground pork, mushroom, and bok choy mixture over or alongside. Finish with the remaining half of the 1 Lime and 2 tablespoons chopped Cilantro Bunch.

Health notes: About 560-650 calories per serving. Balanced with protein, fiber-rich sweet potato, and leafy bok choy. To cut sodium, season lightly and rely on lime and cilantro for flavor.
Drink pairing: A juicy Gamay handles the sweet-savory pork nicely, while Riesling is excellent if you like a white with a little fruit to play off the sweet potato and lime.
