We have been on a sweet potato kick over here lately. Everything from taco bowls to parfaits. It is one of my favorite vegetables to prepare for my family because I know that everyone including the kids will eat them. The kids enjoy the sweet flavors and I love knowing that sweetpotatoes pack a huge punch when it comes to nutrients and health benefits for our bodies.
