Roasted Maple Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes (Recipe)

https://soundcloud.com/shay-lonfitnesswonderwoman-moss-fitness-wonderwoman/thursday-recipe-roasted-maple

Last Saturday I missed the opportunity to share a recipe with all of you, but was able to do one on my podcast last Thursday. This particular recipe, is for anyone who enjoys sweet potatoes, personally, I do not, so I most likely will not give this a try, but my family loves it so I know they make something with similar ingredients during the holiday months. Hopefully this quick recipe will be one you share with the folks. 

 

Ingredients:

 
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • maple syrup (preferably pure) 2 tbsp
  • cinnamon 1/4 tsp
  • nutmeg 1/4 tsp
  • pepper 1/4 tsp
  • salt 1/2 tsp
  • olive oil 1 1/2 tbsp

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or tin foil and spray it. (or without use of parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray)
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes in cubed shaped, and place them inside a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and maple syrup on top of them, then sprinkle the spices, mix together until the sweet potatoes are well covered
  3. Dump onto the cookie sheet and bake them for 15-20 minutes (should be tender and slightly crispy) and you will want to stir the sweet potatoes half way through cooking time.

Enjoy!

 

Phase Two: Week Four. Day 24| Six Weeks To Shreds

Warm up:

 
  • 2-3 minute skipping in place

Workout:

  • Bentover barbell row: 4 x 9-11. 70 lb (1 minute skipping in place between sets)
  • DB incline row: 3 x 9-11. 70 lb ( 1 minute goblet squat – 30 lb between sets)
  • Seated cable rows: 3 x 9-11.  120 lb ( 1 minute box jumps between each set)
  • Barbell shrug: 4 x 9-11. 155 lb (1 minute DB step ups – 20 lb between each set)

  • Reverse barbell curl: 3 x 9-11. 45 lb. (1 minute DB lunge-20 lb between each set)

Today I was not feeling it, I was fatigued before getting started and just aching a bit. I don’t think it is over training ( not quite that bad) .. I just think it is about that time again (if you know what I mean). I couldn’t finish a whole minute of med ball slams without stopping and I hardly slammed the ball hard enough to make a noise, I was just barely getting by on my workout today, BUT with all that being said, I made some good progress compared to my week one results.

Anyone else have a long day at the gym today, or just not feeling today’s workout?

now for those of you who are working on building strength and need something lighter to get started, my gym used body bars with some of their clients and in college I started with one for a class or two and let me tell you, they come real handy!
