Something sweet

Nutritional benefits of a sweet potato: one medium sweet potato, about 114 grams, has 105 calories, 2.5 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and 23 grams of carbohydrates. It holds 28% of the daily value of vitamin C needed and 12.5% of the Daily value for Vitamin B6. Sweet potatoes also provide lots of other minerals such as manganese, copper, iron and potassium. Also depending on the color, sweet potatoes provide lots of vitamin A, up to 250% of the daily value.  The more orange the more beta carotene in the potato, when it becomes white the beta carotene is lost. 

So when you are craving something sweet grab a sweet potato, place it on foil paper and season with basil (you may add olive oil such as 1/2 a tsp), wrap up and bake at 375 degrees for 1hr to an hour and 10 minutes.  Bake a few and save in the fridge for a later snack :) Sweet potatoes are very satisfying and definitely take care of my sweet tooth cravings.
