garlic mashed sweet potatoes

This recipe come from Meghan Little and Angel Ayala Torres in their cookbook  The Paleo Effect.

This is a creamy-spicy mix of sweet potatoes, coconut milk and a pinch of cayenne pepper. A great side dish or a warm comfort food to enjoy on a chilly day. I used a food processor to blend it all together but you can use a fork to give it a chunky texture if you prefer.

I saw this recipe for South of the Border Loaded Sweet Potatoes while watching an episode of The Biggest Loser and found that it's a great meal to make when you are short on time. It's filling, requires only a few ingredients, and you can serve it with some steamed veggies or a side salad and have dinner ready in 15 minutes.

sweet potato brownies

I really enjoy baking but I'd rather not exercise my will power to withstand having 24 brownies in my house. I want to be able to make a healthy treat option but also keep the recipe low in servings so that I am not tempted. This version creates 12 brownies but can easily be doubled if you are baking for a larger group. It's super moist and delicious but without all the loaded sugar found in traditional brownies.
