Slow Roasted Sweet Potatoes



I've been absolutely obsessed with the crockpot lately, and not just the crockpot, but a certain recipe. We've actually made it a weekly thing. On Fridays it's a given. Sweet Potatoes from the crockpot. I put it together in 5 minutes, head out the door to teach, come back and they are done to perfection and ready for eating.

Crockpot Sweet Potatoes
2 medium sized red potatoes (or use 2 sweet potatoes if you don't want red)
1 large sweet potato
3 tblsp. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tblsp. of Rosemary
Salt and Pepper to taste
This recipe feeds me and Brad perfectly. (serving size 2)

Directions:
Cut all potatoes to however you want. Sliced or cubed. Throw in Crockpot and put in the olive oil, rosemary and s&p. Put on Low for 2 hours and enjoy one of the simplest side dishes you'll ever taste.

Whenever I am craving potatoes, I always make sure to get the medium sized, red. They are less starchy and have more fiber in the skin. If you want to skip the starch/red potatoes all together, Sweet Potatoes are always your best bet!

Sweet Potatoes are loaded with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and is loaded with Fiber. That's just the tip of the ice-berg. They have a low glycemic index so they don't spike your blood sugars, and they are excellent for your skin. Just to name a few of the benefits.

    own blog soon but I'm having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  14. With havin so much written content do you ever run
    into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My website has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.

  16. Many bodybuilders make this same mistake, and take the hard road.
    If you only lift ten pounds routinely, your muscles will grow
    to meet that need and no more. We know that muscle mass tissue repairs by itself
    and grows during relaxation durations but snooze
    is more essential than waking relaxation intervals.
