Harvest Pulled Pork with Almond Butter Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Here you go, another Paleo recipe! The almond butter adds a certain flavor and creaminess to the sweet potatoes that is perfect for the season. Also, making the mashed sweet potatoes with the skin allows you to get all of the great nutrients that are in the skin that we usually just discard. I made up this recipe on the fly and I think it came out really well, I hope you guys enjoy!
