Smashed Carrot Sweet Potatoes! sooooo goood!
Ingredients: (I times the recipe by 5 to make a big batch)
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2-1C low-sodium vegetable stock or Watkins Chicken broth
1 tsp grated orange rind
Pinch each cinnamon and ginger
1 T Splenda brown sugar

Instructions:
Roast sweet potatoes and carrots at 425F for 40ish minutes (until soft). Add cooked veggies to spices, butter, brown sugar and broth. Mash with potato masher or in mixer.
I also made my famous Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cran Muffins with REAL pumpkin and roasted pumpkin seeds (both found in the archives under pumpkin).
