5 Delicious Ways to Cook With Sweet Potatoes

Now is the time of year to eat fresh flavors, and healthy foods help children reach their full potential. That's why we partnered with Great Nations Eat for this post.

Winter just screams comfort food, and there's a bounty of fresh ingredients you can grab at the grocery store for making quick, easy, and budget-friendly eats. One of the most versatile is the humble sweet potato — or yam. It seems there's fierce debate over the difference between the two, which makes these five recipes work with whichever you have on hand.
