Some Sweet Fall Treats

I lovvve Fall… the food is just the best. So comforting.

And I made a delicious Fall discovery.

It looks just like a regular sweet potato but…..

 

When you cut it up… its WHITE!

It is known as a Japanese Sweet Potato. It is also sometimes called a Japanese yam, an Oriental, Kotobuki, Satsuma Imo, or Satsumaimo.

For a yummy snack, I steamed my Japanese Sweet Potato. And paired it with some of my new Hummus:

Love artichokes, love kalamatas, so this was an obvious choice for me.

I LOVED this potato. It tasted like a regular sweet potato… but.. somehow better.

In terms of nutrition:

All varieties of sweet potato are good sources of vitamins C and E as well as dietary fibre, potassium, and iron, and they are low in fat and cholesterol. But the orange-and red-fleshed forms of sweet potato are particularly high in beta-carotene, the vitamin A precursor.

So… not bad for a “white” food

I also indulged in another autumn treat this morning.

PUMPKIN OATS!

YUM!

What is that amaaazing looking topping on the oats you ask?

Well it is none other than the delicious treat that is BARNEY BUTTER!

Look what was awaiting my arrival home from Boston:

3 jars of the good stuff!

Believe me, they won’t last long.

 

Have a great hump day friends!
