So Sweet

A shout-out to my new favorite root:



Thanks to the farmer's market, I'm on a a big winter vegetable kick, which includes a lot of squash and sweet potatoes. For lunch, I've found a simple and delicious meal. In the morning, I toss a sweet potato in my bag, and mix up some cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, dried cranberries, and pecans in a bag. When I get hungry, I poke the potato with a fork, throw it in the microwave for 4 minutes, then empty out the baggie of toppings and add a little butter that I keep in the office fridge.

Perfect! And chock-full of vitamins A and C and fiber.

Good snack tip. I like to julienne sweet potatoes and bake with olive oil as a side with homemade veggie burgers. To my palate, ketchup really works on sweet potatoes, though on not much else.

Ketchup! CATSUP! Travesty. I bet you put it on eggs, too - yeah? And oysters?
I'll have to try baking sweet potatos - that sounds good. Do you have a good recipe for homemade veggie burgers? I'd love to try it.
