THE WONDER ROOT |
| |
What's truly amazing is the versatility of this odd shaped
root. The sweet potato stars as a vegetable for a holiday dinner, but then
turns around and becomes a breakfast muffin. It's next trick is to
produce cookies for lunch. Spin again and it's a sweet after school
snack. And poof, it's a late night banana yam spoon custard by the
fire -- yummmm. These recipes, "kid tested" by Mrs. Bach's first grade class
of Shrewsbury School, Screwsbury, NJ, were designed to share ways to add
nutrition to your school or home menu planning. One youngster was overheard
saying "I just had a cookie and there was sweet
potato in it!" These children were so enthusiastic they
asked for the recipes so they can have them at home. Like you, we want to
see our children grow up with strong teeth and bones and develop robust immune
systems. For a boost in good health, remember that "Sweet Potatoes are #1."
You'll find the recipes here are not only easy to prepare, but will have
the kids coming back for more. |
