SIMPLE SWEET POTATO SOUP
This delicious soup has only 6 ingredients. It was given to me by my boyfriend's mom who adapted it from another recipe. It can be as thick or thin as you like, and I like it quite thick. To dress it up when serving, drizzle some cream on top and float a lime twist or slice of lime on top. Delicious hot or cold.

SIMPLE CRUSTLESS SWEET POTATO PIE
This recipe is pretty versatile. I used a can of Farmer's Market sweet potato puree, and you can easily swap out for a can of squash puree or pumpkin. Unsweetened soymilk does just fine in this too, I just happened to have vanilla on hand and think that made it a little sweeter.

Steps:
- Overcook the sweet potatoes. Either bake them in foil, steam, roast (I'm sure roasting would give them an even nicer flavour) or bbq. Get them overcooked so they are really soft and you can mash them with a fork.
- Add applesauce (we used an Organics Applesauce snack cup. I think it might have been sweetened, so you may need to add some sugar to tast if you use unsweetened).
- Add Cinnamon.
- Mash it all together with a fork, or use a blender for a smoother texture and serve.
