I made a spaghetti meal the other night that my children loved and was very healthy for them -- I want to share it with you.
Add mashed or pureed sweet potatoes (microwave on high for 10-12 minutes) to ground beef with some crushed garlic. Make whole wheat spaghetti and serve with the cooked sweet potato ground beef mixture.
The sweet potato made the ground beef sweet -- one child ate it with tomato sauce and my other child ate it alone without the sauce. Try it -- it is a great way to add nutrition to a kid's favorite meal. By the way, the sweet potato has been ranked as a highly nutritious food. See the stats for yourself below --
