PET is a brand of milk. LOL. There is canned milk and refrigerated bottle milk.

Eggs whites with just a little bit of sugar. It's so yummy!

Marshmallows do not belong on sweet potatoes, anyway.
I hear ya, I need to better explain my point about sweet potatoes. These dishes can be made healthier but diabetes and high blood pressure are pervasive in the Black community because most people are not making healthier options; and even healthier ways of cooking some of these foods are still not truly healthy in the longrun. Sweet potato is healthiest before people start adding a bunch of stuff to it. It's important for people to remember that because every holiday, someone eats a slice of sweet potato pie and says "sweet potato is good for you." LOL. Your casserole sounds tasty but you are still adding a few things that should be eaten in small portions and in moderation. Some people with diabetes would not be able to eat your casserole.
