 "Pin It")
In my 30-day challenge of eating whole foods, we were told to limit carb-dense vegetables such as sweet potatoes and butternut squash. We love sweet potatoes and ate it with dinner at least twice a week before our challenge started; it wasn't a holiday food for us. It was a weekly delight at dinner time. When I found out I only needed to eat carb-dense veggies for an after-workout meal, I was somewhat bummed but kinda happy I got to eat them so early in the day! I work out at 8:00am so around 9:15am I start indulging in sweet deliciousness that the came from the earth. Natural sugar! Anyway. I concocted a sweet recipe after reading a savory recipe and thought it would work out fine and it did. The texture is smooth and creamy and the taste is slightly sweet. It makes my tummy happy knowing it's being served wholesome food!
