To do this, wash/scrub them, prick a few times with a fork, and wrap in foil. Cook on high for 6-8 hours, or on low for a few hours longer (I've even done overnight). Since they roast in their own juices, they are very moist and sweet this way. You can also cook them in the crockpot! To do this, wash/scrub them, prick a few times with a fork, and wrap in foil.

I bake regular potatoes and squash in the same manner. Hope that helps and enjoy!

Forgive a silly question, but I haven't cooked sweet potatoes before, can you tell me how you cooked these in preparation for the recipe? Thanks! Thanks for the recipes!

I frequently make a Black Bean and Yam Quesadilla that is delicious and only takes 20 minutes to make. It's one of my "quick meals." Mmmmm, yum.

Its great! To be honest, I've never really baked macaroni before. I always just make it stove top, but this was a lot easier than I expected. I only had one egg, used 2% milk, a mixture of random white cheese ends that my husband grated and some leftover Parmesan cheese. I couldn't convince my husband with the bread crumbs/paprika, but after eating it he agreed to try it next time. I used Tastefully Simple's seasoning salt and white pepercorns from Penzey's. Baked for 20 minutes. It was excellent. I have three 1lb boxes of regular macaroni left in my stock, but would like to try and find some sprouted or other more nutritious option once I use up my pantry. Any ideas? Sunday is our last dairy day before Lent. We are Orthodox Christians. I'm sure we'll be trying the sweet potato burritos soon. I really don't know what my husband will think, but I'm going to try it during Lent anyways. :) I just made the bake macaroni & cheese recipe. Its great!

The minerals from water come mostly from rocks and things and I don't think we were meant to eat rocks. But I have also heard the debate about that these days it is really hard to get all the minerals we need from our food. I have used Organa Minerals it is a plant based supplement, at times like when I'm pregnant and liked it pretty well. I also know a gal who uses a RO then a remineralizer to add minerals back into the water and then a Ionizer that alkalizes the water. She swears by it and I can maybe see the reasoning but the price tag has kept me very happy with my RO for now! ;) I have used an RO for years and I personally have kind of felt like we should get our minerals from our food and not the water.

Question for you though - have you ever tried to freeze it for future dinners? Actually, have you ever frozen brown rice pasta at all? I'd love to make up some dinners to freeze for when the baby comes, but we have to use brown rice instead of traditional pasta for my hubby. :-) Thanks for the mac and cheese recipe, I think I’ll give it a try tonight!
