Since I mentioned yesterday that I will have to reduce my carbohydrate intake, as well as sugars, it occurred to me that
I won't be able to eat the massive quantities of Sweet Potatoes in the New Year.
I don't think it's healthy to be addicted to the amount I am.
Even though sweet potatoes are extremely healthy, having
6-7 at one time just causes hypoglycemia. But slowly,
I am working towards breaking this crazy habit!
But damn! These look good huh!
Time to stack the Sweet Potato Mountain again :)
Each one has a crispy outside and a tender inside... mmm
Also the Winner of my Hemp Hog Giveaway is...

Perhaps flavoring another less starchy veg or even tofu with similar seasonings would help?
I do so love sweet taters though, good luck!
That's SO much sweet potatoes to eat in one sitting. I'm surprised you can do it!!
hey Kelsey,
i don't blame you for being addicted to these, they ARE really yummy. hope your transition goes smoothly and easily...baby steps if you have to.
thank you for the giveaway win!
You're amazing that you can so many at once! :O And you won't have to give them up completely!
A thing that has worked very well for me (and that I still stick to) is to have a little protein with every meal. This will keep the blood sugar more stable and satisfy you longer. And I think there are lots of yummy things you can make with sweet potatoes and protein! Think sweet potato omelette, stir-fried sweet potato with chicken, baked sweet potato with greek yoghurt or sour creme (do you eat dairy?), baked salmon or sea trout on sweet potatoes, etc etc. Lots of possibilities! :D
I had the most perfect sweet potatoes with my dinner today and I thought of you, haha. ;)
After seeing that hemp chocolate on your blog, I made a similar thing of my own. It was super good! I pureed dates with walnuts and hemp seeds (they have a surprisingly yummy taste!) then I rolled the paste into balls and covered them with dark chocolate. It was YUM! Congrats to the winner :)
OHHHHH my gosh- you make me want some TATERS!
PS got your email, beautiful. I totally understand and I really appreciate you sharing your heart with me. I am so glad it came across the way it did and we understood each other!
Sorry I didnt email you back, my email has been funky lately (its yahoo mail so ya know)
Saw your last post- you are in my prayers! everythings going to work out love!
Ah these look so good! I read your last post just now... good luck on everything! I'm also 21 and am getting ready to go out in the 'real world' soon. It's scary!
this is indeed a sweet sorrow kels.... i am very much going to miss your sweet potato mountains, but i know it is for good reason and i wish you best of luck with your health in 2011!! thank you so much for sharing in your last post...
that is my definition of a perfectly roasted sweet potato! crispy on the outside but so warm and gooey on the inside!
mmm they look goood. andyou just reminded me that i asked my mother to buy me some sweet potatoes, and now i have to go check if she did or not...hmm. anyway, i've heard that about sweet potatoes too! it stinks, but too much of anything=bad.
You know I love sweet potatos! And this makes me sad!! Ill just have to eat a bunch for you ;)
Its totally understandable to be addicted to these things, they are irresistable! Especially with those spices and stuff :D
these look really great. ive made some roasted root veggies a couple times this winter so far: sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, parsnips, carrots, all coated in salt, rosemary and oregano. mmm..
Hemphogs?! That's adorable! As well as your squirrel with a santa cap on! :)
Kelsey?!
I don't know what happened, but your blog fell off my google reader O_O
All this time I have been thinking that you stopped posting... i have so much catching up to do! Argh!
Hope you are well, and sweet potatoes are amazing :)
Best of luck with your new goal! It will be easier to manage once it's not freezing outside b/c you'll be craving salads instead of potatoes maybe?
good luck! =)
