Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day

In our neck of the woods ... okay, maybe just in our household ... the sweet potato is often overlooked. We buy red potatoes and brown potatoes (and sometimes no potatoes - depending on which way our obsession with carbs is going) but rarely do we buy a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamins (B6 and C), beta carotene and dietary fiber. In fact, their nutritional value packs way more of a punch then the common potato!

Now are you wondering how to incorporate it into your meal? Well, here's a suggestion:

Marvelous Maple Sweet Potato Casserole

Servings: 8

Notes: Garnish with oregano, if desired.

WHAT YOU NEED:
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal

1 1/2 cups skim milk 2 tablespoons margarine

1 1/4 pounds sweet potato, cooked, and mashed

1/3 cup maple syrup
