OH, Forks! Dishes the Dirt on Sweet Potatoes!

 

It’s orange. Or purple. Or yellow. Sort of mushy sometimes, and can be found in a load of Thanksgiving day dishes. It’s shaped like a potato, for the most part, except often it’s larger than your normal white potatoes, or red. These are sweet potatoes, and up until about two years ago, I despised them! Seriously, I couldn’t even tolerate talking about them, thinking of the horrendous dishes with baked on marshmallows, bland hash, and other “great” recipes I had tried them in over the years.

It wasn’t until I began going down the road of Paleo that I really had to make myself try harder to love them. Seeing as how they are a super food, and an extremely healthy source of so many crucial vitamins and minerals, I am very happy to report they are now one of my go-to foods, and a staple in my diet.

This is an article that I posted on the GF4M site a bit ago. Look for more info on super foods, healthy foods, and general healthy living in the upcoming months!
