It is getting warmer out and I’m sure many of you will soon switch from oatmeal to something lighter – smoothies, yogurt, etc but if you haven’t done so already, I have a recipe for you! I like sweet potatoes because of their “sweet” side. Go figure. Mixing sweet potato into my oatmeal really made it naturally sweet. The only bad part about the recipe is having the time to bake the potato, which depending upon its’ size takes 30 to 45 minutes. After that, you are golden!
