Yum, we had sweet potato pancakes for breakfast this morning. Tastes
like sweets but loaded with beta carotene and I used molasses to top
mine for the extra iron. They're also good with cream cheese on top. It
counts as healthy in my book!

Blech. I'm so NOT a sweet potato person. Actually, I don't really like any
cooked orange veggies...carrots, yams, squash. Blech.

Raw carrots are okay.

It's actually probably *less* sugar than if you put jelly or jam on it.
(And
don't anyone tell me that jam constitutes a fruit serving -- yeah,
maybe 1/32
of one! ;-) )

Believe it or not, WIC considers it to be part of the daily
requirement. I guess their standards are more lax ;-)

WIC ?

Women Infants and Children.. It is a suplimentory food program to help out
low to mid range incomes durring pregnancy infancy and up to age 5. Some
see it as a program designed to obliverate breastfeeding since they give
free formula to low incomed families.. The WIC office we go to strongly
encourages breastfeeding though.. Anyway they give free cerial, milk, eggs,
cheese and juice and peanut butter to people and breastfeeding earns you
extras like carrots and tuna..

Interesting - thanks for the info !

agreed - although I like pumpkin.

But i'd swap the orange for extra green ( especially broccoli ) anyday !

Oooh, nope, not pumpkin either. It's the whole sweet vegetable thing that
doesn't really work for me, I guess. Just a coincidence that they all
happen to be orange. Now my family, on the other hand, thinks I'm mighty
strange and eccentric for choosing to dislike all orange vegetables. Like I
chose the color randomly. Doi.
