Sweet Potato love from my Sassy and sweet Client, Toby.

Hello savvy blog and fitness followers without whom I can't live (you all make my world go round)-

Here's some AWESOME, to say the very least, sweet potato recipes.  As most of you HOPEFULLY know, the sweet potato and yam are super foods with a complex and slow burning carbohydrate punch.  They are satisfyingly filling and best of all...SWEET!  Thank you to my dearest, sassiest, hard working and long time client (more like a mother to me, actually), Toby Schuller for sharing these with all of us.  Toby eats better than anyone I know and it shows.  She does it with grace and makes fit life look easy at 68
years young.  We should all take a page from Toby's book starting with these.....
