Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Candied Sweet Potatoes

This is a slow cooker recipe that is great for the holidays...or any day! Sweet potatoes are a great source of Vitamins A, C, and B6, potassium, manganese and fiber. And they are especially delicious dressed-up with a little maple syrup, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup maple syrup
6-7 sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds), peeled and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
Lightly spray a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place peeled, sliced sweet potatoes in slow cooker. Mix melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Pour over sweet potatoes. Top with brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook on low 4 hours. Stir and serve.
