It almost the first day of summer!!!! We have had some sun, but New England is getting hit with a lot of rain. Since planting my garden, I have only had to use the sprinkler once, and that was right after I planted it! Now we need some sun and the wonderful veggies will sprout right up! There are already a few peppers on my little red pepper plant. Must be the daily conversations I have with them!
So lately in my diet I have been lacking carbs. Carbs in paleo aren't easy to come by. You have to eat a TON of veggies and then of course carbs in fruit. In an effort to get more carbs, sweet potatoes are a wonderful thing. Theres are so many different ways you can make them: baking them, mashing them, boiling them - then theres making them into hash! This is an easy recipe that you can make as much as you want and it will stay good in the fridge for a weeks worth of carbs for your breakfast, lunch, dinner or post workout!
A note about the maple syrup...... I would highly recommend using one from a local farm, not the commercial brands. The commercial brands have a TON off added ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup. They do sell the real stuff at whole foods, trader joes, some supermarkets should have it as well (but it will be much more expensive!) So support your local farmers and see if they have some!!
