Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallow Topping
Have you ever wanted to find an easy recipe that your kids will love? I have struggled to find ways that my children will eat their sweet potatoes. I've tried to make sweet potatoes many other ways. This recipe seems to be a hit in my home and I hope it becomes one in yours as well.

My children are young and developing their own personal tastes. They have begun to verbalize how they feel about something even before they look at it. This recipe is a great way for the kids to want to dig in. Marshmallows make everything look good.

Can I make this recipe with canned sweet potatoes? 
You sure can- when using the canned sweet potatoes make sure to use 2 of the large cans (40oz each) and drain them before use.

This is an easy recipe to make at home for the kids or bring to a holiday gathering. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to enjoy this recipe.

Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree and grease a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick spray.
2. Peel, cut, and boil the sweet potatoes until they are soft (you can check this by poking a potato with a fork)
3.  Grab a bowl and add butter, sugar, applesauce and cinnamon. Mix well.
4. Drain the sweet potatoes and add them to the mixture. Mash with a potato masher while mixing the ingredients together with the masher.
5. Spread the mixture into the pan and pat the mixture flat with the back of a spoon.
6. Cut the giant marshmallows in half and place the cut side down in a row (keeping a small gap between each marshmallow as they will grow a bit when cooking).
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the marshmallows are puffy and have a slight golden brown.
8. Enjoy!

Meet Heather Martin

 
The sterile scent of hospitals, the hushed, hopeful whispers, and the gnawing fear that lives in every waiting room – these became the unwanted backdrop of my life. It wasn't a single event, but a relentless series of challenges that slowly, profoundly, reshaped my understanding of health and ultimately, my purpose.

It began with my own daughter's cancer diagnosis. The helplessness I felt was amplified a thousandfold. As we navigated her treatment, I scrutinized every aspect of her care, seeking not just survival, but thriving. I began to ask different questions, looking beyond the conventional to see how diet, lifestyle, and a holistic approach could support her body through the immense challenges she faced.

Then, the world tilted on its axis with my beloved father. His terminal cancer diagnosis was a crushing blow, an unyielding reality that traditional medicine, for all its marvels, couldn't alter. We watched, we hoped, we grieved. In the midst of that raw pain, a seed of curiosity took root: Was there more to healing than what we were being told?

My own body then sent a jarring message. I experienced a hemiplegic migraine, an terrifying event that starkly mimicked stroke-like symptoms. The sudden loss of function, the fear, the uncertainty – it was a profound wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own health, which I had unconsciously neglected while caring for others. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I truly understood the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

I realized then that I didn't just want to heal; I wanted to understand why we get sick and how to build true, resilient health from the ground up. I wanted to change the trajectory of my own life, and more importantly, my family's life, away from chronic illness and towards vibrant well-being.

This intense, personal journey ignited an unshakeable passion within me. I devoured knowledge, exploring functional nutrition, mind-body practices, and the profound impact of lifestyle on health. I became an integrative health practitioner because I couldn't keep this newfound understanding to myself. My deepest desire is to guide others through their own health challenges, to empower them with the knowledge and tools to create their own new beginnings, and to help them rewrite their family's health story, just as I've strived to do for my own. It's not just a profession; it's a calling born from love, loss, and a relentless hope for a healthier future for all.
