Sweet potatoes are incredibly versatile and delicious. They are almost as versatile as the all-amazing cauliflower—and that is saying something. You can eat sweet potatoes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. This array of recipes will keep you from ever getting bored with sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are healthy for you too! They are a great source of fiber and Vitamins A, B and C! They are also a great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory food too. Seriously, so dang good for you but they are so tasty too.

A favorite sweet potato recipe of mine is a grilled (in foil) sweet potato. It’s basically candied on its own. I just add some butter and it’s like having dessert and a Thanksgiving casserole all in one. They are so delicious and good for you that I feed my dog one of these at least once a week. I’m pretty sure there are weeks that my dog eats better than I do but we both win with sweet potatoes!
