Sweet Potatoes with Aioli Dip

Sweet potatoes, also commonly labeled as yams, are an excellent and inexpensive staple to have on hand. These deep orange-fleshed nutritional powerhouses add several important components to the diet. Their health and weight management benefits far exceed the nutritional value found in ordinary white and yellow fleshed potatoes.

I love sweet potatoes
and use them every which way. I don't like them with sugar or the traditional way.I just prefer it boiled with skin on, and no butter, i rub some olive oil and mash it, add a little mustard  and i'm ready for my power breakfast, quick, simple and easy. 

Here is a cool recipe i found on Casa Veneracion, thanks The Pinoy Cook! another great way to enjoy the healthy and inexpensive sweet potatoes.

Did you know that snacking on sweet potatoes can help your skin stay clear, smooth and young-looking? The reason: Crayola-colored orange in sweet potatoes comes from beta-carotene, an antioxidant that converts to vitamin A in your body and switches on DNA that's in charge of producing new skin cells and shedding old ones.
