Sweet Potatoes are the Best!

Yes, I love sweet potatoes!  They are so delicious and healthy too.  Personally, I like them peeled, chopped, and zapped in the microwave.  I know you can use them in much more fancy ways, but I truly enjoy plain 'ol sweet potatoes.  Two of my recent meals included sweet potatoes:


Peach Chobani oatgurt with sweet potatoes


Sliced apple and peanut butter on Earth Grains 100% whole wheat thin buns with sweet potatoes and milk


A late night snack of frozen banana, almond milk and crushed walnuts - yum!

Tonight I went on a 3 mile run near my house.  It was overcast, breezy, and in the low 70s - Perfect!  I also had my iPod with me, which always helps. 

I also just finished reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.  It is an amazing story told from the perspective of a minister's wife and his four daughters.  You can read more about the plot on Wikipedia here.  It's another book I highly recommend as it will broaden your perspectives, to say the least.

Well, this was a short post, but I'll have more soon!

  3. I LOVE sweet potatoes! I know it sounds gross, but I saw on a few blogs where they added almond butter (or PB) on top of them. OMG. It is so, so good! Like dessert for dinner. :-)

  6. I could eat sweet potatoes any time of day!!

    And yes, that running weather sounds perfect. I was silly and went yesterday when it was in the 80s, and really hot and humid. I'd love to trade weather with you ;) lol
