On the 5th Day of Fitmas…

On the 5th Day of Fitmas, Coach Wendy gave to me:

  • 5 gold star jumps
  • 4 killer push-ups
  • 30 second wall sit
  • 2 awesome burpees
  • and a 1 minute holiday plank

day 5- 12 days of fitness

Growing up I always looked forward to sweet potato casserole at every holiday meal!  You know the one made with like a gallon of syrup, brown sugar and topped with marshmallows!  It’s really kinda sad that we cover up a naturally sweet, delicious, and nutritious thing like a sweet potato with sugar!  I now make this version of sweet potatoes all the time and when I bring them to a get together people rave about them.  They don’t even miss that casserole.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes:

  • 3-4 sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • cinnamon

Toss cubed sweet potatoes, oil and cinnamon.  Cook at 400 degrees on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.  I will stir them a couple times while they are cooking.

These make a delicious side dish and I will use any left overs in a yummy breakfast hash.

Enjoy!
