Sweet Potato Recipes
Sweet potato recipes from family, friends, and my favorite recipe resources.
So, you've heard about the sweet potato, huh? That's why you're here, right?... Looking for a variety of recipes to get this "super food" into your diet more often.
No more looking through stacks of recipe books or searching the recipe sites for sweet potato recipes. I've packed this resource with hundreds of traditional, and not so traditional, recipes for your easy reference.
Let me tell you how I got started on this sweet potato mission. Last year my Dad, a true farmer at heart, included sweet potatoes in his garden. Well, this was a first for me... A bushel of sweet potatoes on my doorstep. Imagine my surprise!
I have to confess that we rarely included them in our diet, except for the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday recipes.
So, I had to get busy figuring out how I was gonna' use all of those sweet potatoes.
My Dad works hard in his garden... I couldn't let them go to waste. I was determined to work them into our diet at least three times a week, until I had exhausted the supply.
Now, while I was researching, looking for new ways to cook them, I got an excellent education on just how great this "wonder food" really is. They are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber.
Why was I only offering them to my family during the Holidays? They are full of all that wonderful stuff that helps keep you healthy! They are rich in Vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin E...
Well, here's the analysis for you to see for yourself... Sweet Potato Nutrition
Why it's been noted that they may even help prevent or cure some ailments and diseases, including Cancer.
After learning so much about sweet potatoes and how they can actually help keep you healthy, I decided to continue my goal to include a sweet potato recipe in our diet at least two (three if I can get away with it) times a week... Even after that bushel from my Dad's garden was gone. I was so excited about the benefits of this "super food" that I was sad to see the bottom of the basket. :-(
