Disclosure: Compensation was provided by UncommonGoods in exchange for this post. But all opinions are my own.

I was going to call this dish Mexican Sloppy José Sweet Potatoes. But I am pretty sure everyone would think it was a typo. And I am still not truly sure if it’s a true sloppy joe since it’s not a sandwich. I mean it is sandwiched between sweet potatoes with a homemade taco seasoning. Does that count?

It’s this time of year where everyone is ready for the fall food and the weather changing. Well it’s also this time of year where I miss Indy. It was a unique city full of sports, fun restaurants, darling little towns and shops.

I find  UncommonGoods to be somewhat like it in the sense that it’s an online shop that focuses on unique finds. They sell handmade, recycled, and organic products. They also try their best on being green in the sense of being more online with publications and/or printing on recycled paper.

It’s funny because I had such a hard time moving up there to begin with because I was away from our family, our friends, and a job I loved. But the saying is true – absence makes the heart grow fonder. I miss the farmers markets that lasted even thru the winter. I miss all the children’s stores – where I found our favorite baby books  (which would make for a perfect baby shower gift).

It’s something that will forever be a part of us. There are so many keepsakes we have like glasses, cutting boards, and pictures that will help us to cherish those memories. UncommonGoods has so many things like these that would be  perfect for your special someone on your anniversary or a special gift for a wedding.

Hopefully soon we will visit Indy. Until then Alabama fall I hope you don’t disappoint. At least I can rely on these Mexican Sloppy Joe Sweet Potatoes for some comfort food and as a dish I know my toddlers will eat!
