~Nutrition in a Nutshell~

Sorry for my absence...my how time flies! Have lots of work in progress with partial entries waiting to be posted. My delay as always seems to be in organizing the the number of photos continually being snapped from one of our two cameras and one is pretty much always with me! and if no camera then my cellphone is Kodak and actually takes really good photos.

TODAY we look at the super food ....SWEET POTATO ...YUM!YUM! Doesn't have to be Thanksgiving to enjoy...and fyi the marshmallows kind of cancel the super food value out. Next time i'll try it as a pasta filler with ricotta cheese(look for the recipe in ~Foods of the Rainbow~ soon) It's also one of those foods that make for easy and delicious baby food! Making your own baby food really is easy and then you know exactly what is going into your baby. Buy a few jars of commercial baby food to study the consistency and ease your worries a bit and then find a few easy favorites to make, then you can just store them in the jars...reduce, reuse, and recycle...yea!

It's been a while since we had sweet potatoes in our meal planning. We made up for lost time by having them three times in the last couple of weeks! They are super yummy and oh so good for you!
