8 Guess Who Said It?
Everyone's had potato hash browns — either in patty form at McDonald's, from a mother's stove, or in an American diner where the dish is served up around the clock. One Sunday morning, I awoke with a hankering for hash browns, but I didn't have any potatoes on hand, only sweet potatoes. I figured sweet potatoes make great fries, so why not hash browns? If you want to pay homage to your Read more
Now that we know who is going to the Super Bowl, it's time to get started on a Super Bowl party menu. Rather than clutter the table with junk food, consider making a bunch of healthy killer appetizers.

Whether you're celebrating Hanukkah tonight or not, potato latkes (also called potato pancakes) make a delicious meal. I've cooked up the standard potato latkes made with russet potatoes, ones with shredded carrots added, sweet potato and carrot latkes, and also ones made with zucchini from my garden.

So I continuously check out my local health-food store to find new crave-worthy snacks that aren't high in fat and sodium. I just discovered a new chip by FoodShouldTasteGood featuring sweet potatoes. I'm such a fan of this healthy veggie, so I had to give these a try. Read more
Why not mix things up this Thanksgiving? Instead of serving traditional stuffing made out of bread, why not use quinoa? It's a whole grain that is similar to rice but has a slightly firmer texture. Plus 1/4 cup of quinoa contains six grams of protein, so after eating it you'll feel energized. I like to add cooked sweet potatoes to give it a touch of Thanksgiving warmth. This quinoa stuffing is Read more
I know I'm supposed to be getting a certain amount of Vitamins and Minerals each day - That's what RDI is (formerly known as RDA). It stands for Reference Daily Intake and it represents the suggested daily intake levels for nutrients. That being said, when it comes to Vitamin A, women should get 700 mcg (micrograms) or 2,310 IU (International Units) a day. This vitamin helps with vision, bone Read more
I think sweet potatoes have gotten a bad rap because of their high carb content. They shouldn't be overlooked because they are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. Not only that, they are a great option if you're craving something sweet. Want to know why they're so good for you? They're bursting with healing antioxidants due to their high levels of vitamins A and C. Antioxidants Read more
Vitamin A — What doesn't it do? It helps with your vision, bone growth, cell growth and repair, and cell division. It helps regulate the immune system, and makes white blood cells, which help to fight off infections. Vitamin A also helps the skin and mucous membranes function as a barrier to bacteria and viruses. It also speeds up healing when you get cut, and prevents your skin from Read more
