Twice Baked Sweet Potato Rounds
Since I've already talked about the benefits of sweet potatoes in previous posts (links below) I will only say that I LOVE sweet potatoes and that they are super healthy for you! I love them so much that as soon as I open the fridge THAT is the only thing I want to eat. Cold sweet potatoes. I eat cold baked sweet potatoes out of the refrigerator at 5 o'clock in the morning as a pre workout snack or as a post workout breakfast. I'll throw them in a ziplock bag and drag them around in my purse for a quick snack. I love them with peanut butter, raisins, apple sauce, and cinnamon. I like them with beans, creole spice, and tahini sauce. I love them with tofu, broccoli, and quinoa. I love them in soups or loaded like a baked russet potato. I pretty much love any form of sweet potatoes. Baked, boiled, steamed, microwaved or however it is prepared. I love me some sweet 'taters (except for when my mom boils them in super salty water to tone down the sweetness... I don't like that. Eat them SWEET the way God made them!) Mostly, though, I like them baked with a bit of cinnamon and salt. Sometimes when I'm feeling fancy, I bake them twice! It's a real treat. Adios!

Haha I totally agree with all you say, sweet potatoes are a real treat. I eat my sweet potatoes with cinnamon too, ahhh so yummy! I also eat them with tomato pesto, hemp butter or almond butter, and with something like “guacamole” with fresh mint on it, ahhhh pure yumminess! 😀
Oh I’ll have to try hemp butter! Thanks for the tip! 🙂
