  • Today we learn all about Sweet Potatoes. This marks the first video of a new series I'm going to be doing where I highlight a particular food and we learn about it! The history, how to select, nutritional qualities, fun facts and of course how to cook it. Let me know your thoughts down below. I'm thinking of calling it the "Amazing Foods Series", but I am totally open to suggestions. Also, let me know what food you want me to cover next! #amazingfood #sweetpotato #simnettnutrition

      Favorite is roasted cabbage steaks. Cut head crosswise so steam holds slices together. Use parchment paper on roasting sheet or spray pan witjmh oil (optional). Spray cabbage lightly with oil (optional), pink Himalayan salt/cracked pepper. Roast 375 until golden or crispy. My kids prefer crispy. They think it tastes like potato chips!

    Been working out + training a client and been pretty exhausted and in need for extra calories😁. So give this a try:
    Bake a large sweet potato 45-60 minutes ( fork into it a couple times before ), then cut into 2 halfs and top it with dark chocolate, Banana, cinnamon & peanutbutter🍠🍌🥜. Sooo goood🤤

    Hey, Derek! Really great idea for this series! I surely love the AMM, though. Anyway, I think it would be great to highlight mushrooms, because some say that they are high in protein, but, when you search for it's nutritional value, it doesn't seem to. It would be cool if you could explain the differences between Shimeji, Shiitake, white and brown mushrooms as well. Love your channel! Thank you for the content 🍂❤️🍃
