Oooh, good stuff. I love sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Makes me crave fall just thinking about them. LOL
I love pumpkins and sweet potatoes too. I'm not big on any kind of pepper so it's good to know I can get those nutrients from something else. :)
Yeah, I love pumpkin if it's pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread. I'm not sure I know any thing healthy to do with pumpkin or sweet potatoes.. I like my sweet potatoes with lots of butter and honey or brown sugar and pecans...
pumpkin seeds were also on the list.
Aola, this is totally off subject, but how close are you to Ft. Sill?
