I use cinnamon as well, but I like to put dextrose on my sweet potatos.
+1!!! I've been adding Pumpkin Spice to my baked sweet taters and dextrose as well.
I love blending cinnamon, nutmeg and a little ground ginger with sweet potatoes and maple syrup YUM;D
Maple syrup!? Mhmm...sounds awesome! The only type of "syrup" I can get is from Walden Farms unless I make my own
Get some pure grade B maple syrup, Tex.
Will do!
I agree some people over hype vegetables, but would you care to expand on why you think they aren't as healthy as most people believe?
What magical part of the vegetable gives it its unique health properties? If you answer vitamins and minerals then you can see why a beef steak is far more nutritionally dense and thus healthy. How many vegetables would you need to eat to get the same amount of nutrients contained in a small beef steak? As an example youd need to eat almost 1kg of Spinach to get the same amount of Zinc as found in a paltry 100g of Beef Sirloin. Almost 10 times the volume of food! And this doesnt even take into account the difference in bioavailability of nutrients in meat versus vegetables. Now phytonutrients is another story I guess.
I agree with you for the most part, but vegetables typically contain different vitamins than meat. For instance there is hardly any vitamin C or vitamin A in meat, but vegetables are loaded with them. There is also very little folate in meat, but vegetables have a ton.The point is use vegetables as a supplement to meat.
Yeah for sure. Thats why I think bell peppers/sweet peppers (capsicums as they are known down here) are a good one. Tons of Vitamin C. And Spinach is good for Folate. Vitamin A is still best sourced from organ meats/fish oils though from what Ive read from the Weston A Price website, as the vegetable sources are poorly converted into any useful amounts.
Are sweet peppers very spicy? Would you just get these at like Kroger or wal Mart?
Not spicy at all. Not sure about those stores I live in New Zealand! (:
You can find sweet peppers pretty much anywhere that has a produce section. A sweet pepper is a green pepper, which is also a bell pepper.
Ah thanks guys. I just needed some quick Peppers 101. Just cut em up and cook with the food?
I just eat them raw, but you can fry them or grill them too.

The yellow/orange/red ones go great with bacon to mop up any remaining fat on the plate. Green I think goes better in salads than on its own. Personal preference here of course.
would 2 cups of pumpkin be risking too much fructose?
No, but pumpkin isn't really ideal because of the large amount of fiber. It shouldn't be too bad though.
++1 one of my first backloads i ate half a can of pumpkin puree with cinnamon and walden farms syrup (i know weird but dont knock it till you try it!) and i woke up as bloated as hell!! And looked really soft! Next day backloaded the same amount without the pumpkin and was fine.
