Have you tried these yet? Somehow my imagination is not quite drawing me into making them. The combo of sweet potatoes and maple syrup is somehow holding me back, which is strange as I know I have definitely tried odder combos before!

No, Smith I have not tried them. I am not a baker (or a cook, for that matter). But I was impressed 'cause they are vegan.

As for maple syrup and sweet potatoes, Not odd at all. That's how my mother made them every Thanksgiving....with tiny marshmallows on top (in case it wasn't sweet enough already - haha)

Sweet potatoes and maple syrup are a great combination! Just be careful with tumeric. My friend started using tumeric to help her autoimmune disease and it ended up working against the meds that suppress her immune system and made her disease progress. It is anti-inflammatory, but it also bolsters your immune system, which we don't want since ours has gone rogue.

WarriorGal, my mind was going with the idea they had to be kind of sweet. LOL Adding marshmallows definitely confirms that idea to the max. Oddly enough it made me want to make some Kugel which my family hates as they think noodles should not be sweet either!

Kimhurts, good point about the tumeric. When I was first diagnosed all my friends convinced me to make and use gold paste (LOL Ironically these friends used it for their horses - makes me wonder what they thought I was - LOL hopefully just in pain! ).

I do recall once I got started on DMARDs I did have to quit the gold paste. It helped but like you said it didn't seem to jive with the DMARD I was on at the time.

Ironically I am back on it whilst I am on this medication intermission and it does take a bit of the edge off. Just wish things could play nicely together!

I was given gold injections way back in the dark ages when I was first diagnosed and had no clue what RA was or how to treat it.

Nope, never tried them. Sounds worth a try, send me some and I'll report back!

LOL! I'm waiting for someone to make them for me.
