Gimme some sweet potatoes, YAMMIT!
My inbox this morning was jam-packed with foodie news of the most urgent variety.
Kids, get ready for this: Mrs. Butterworth's is talking again.
That's right, the big, sweet breakfast character we all came to know and love with our pancakes and waffles, will be chatting in commercials again after 10 years of silence. I missed her so much. She is so motherly.
Moving on to carb world, a company called Jay Robb enterprises has developed a product called YAMMIT! It's a entire line of energy supplements made out of sweet potatoes.
Here's what the company said about it:
"Since no one wants to carry around a yam or sweet potato to munch on throughout the day, Jay Robb Enterprises has developed a simple solution…you take truckloads of yams, cut them into pieces, dry them, and place the dried yam nuggets in 10,000 containers. What do you get? A healthy, delicious, high energy snack…YAMMIT!"
What do they mean? I carry around a yam all the time. It tastes so good dipped in Mrs. Butterworth's.
Not really, but I do enjoy maple syrup on my sweet potatoes and yams from time to time.
Finally, the Internet is home to yet another comprehensive recipe site. This one is owned by Time, Inc. and is called MyRecipes. They call themselves a complete food and recipe hub powered by content from such well-established cooking sources as Cooking Light, Southern Living and Sunset magazines.
