Sweet Morning Potato with Yogurt

It's been a while since I've last blogged, (maybe a year or two) so I figured it was about time for a post or so;-)  I wanted to share one of my new favorites I saw on the kitchn today. 
The Kitchn.com is one of my very favorite cooking sites to frequent...I absolutely love their unique, healthy recipes! Sweet potatoes are one of those foods I can never quite get enough of...Whether you're throwing them in soup, making sweet potato fries, cooking up a baked sweet potato, making sweet potato hash, or baking sweet potato muffins, I'm convinced you can never have enough sweet potatoes:-)
I had to laugh as I ran across this recipe because it's an exact replica of one of my staples.  I love using a lowfat plain or vanilla yogurt in the place of butter and sour cream on my sweet potatoes.  Yogurt is a great way to cut back on added fats and calories (that butter and sour cream contain) and increase your intake of calcium and gut-friendly probiotics.  Adding a few nuts of choice for crunch, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey or agave tops off this delicious meal:-) Like this recipe, I've started eating sweet potatoes for breakfast (as weird as it may sound) for a filling, fiber-ful start to the day:-)  Hope you enjoy!

About Me

My photo
Welcome! As a Registered Dietitian with diet restrictions, I had a sparked interest to share healthy, gluten free recipes with readers! Over the years, cooking has truly become an obsession...and stress reliever. The last five years, I have had to learn how to cook and bake gluten free after being diagnosed with a severe gluten intolerance. With that being said, I have researched, experimented and developed a whole new way to go about food preparation. I now mix all my flours, bake my own GF bread, and alter and create my own recipes. I would love to hear from you with questions, comments, recipe ideas and/or anything and everything in between. Hope you enjoy! Email with questions or comments at: sharleyschreiner@yahoo.com
