I am absolutely crazy about sweet potatoes! They have come so far since they shed the sweet mantle of marshmellows (I liked those, too!) We eat sweet potatoes at least 3 times per week. Yummy!!

I was all set to have couscous with dinner and then I remembered the challenge. I enjoyed a baked sweet potato with my chicken and apples dish. It was perfect!! Thanks for the challenge.

Beth : Ok........ENOUGH mouthwatering FOR US !!! THAT IS IT .... We are coming over :D
Shaleah : Indeed, very few voters for these sweet flesh edible Central American tubers. They are a big hit in warm countries as I understand .....have you already checked how long you can store them at room temperature without spoiling ?

I just enjoyed a lunch of leftover grilled pork tenderloin, squash casserole, and SWEET POTATO wedges tossed with brown sugar and bourbon and baked. Yum.

I love sweet potatoes! I was a little surprised to see as many 'no's' out there as there is. :S We do all have different taste buds I guess.
