| Whip It Up Smashed Spiced Sweet Potatoes  Chile powder, cumin and ginger combined with a touch of maple syrup create a spicy-sweet flavor addition to a traditional Thanksgiving player. Plus, each serving is packed with vitamin A. That's especially important in winter months because vitamin A helps your eyes see better in the dark and boosts your immunity against viral infections. 
Makes 12 servings, ½ cup eachACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes TOTAL TIME: 1¼ hours EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy 4 pounds sweet potatoes (4-5 large) 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup 1 tablespoon chili powder 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground (see Tip) 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pierce each sweet potato in several places with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and roast until soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Slip off the skins and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch slices; transfer to a large bowl. Add butter. Smash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until fluffy but some lumps remain. Add maple syrup, chili powder, ground cumin, ginger, salt and pepper; stir to combine.
Defining Active Time and Total Testers in the EatingWell Test Kitchen keep track of the time needed for each recipe. Active Time includes prep time (the time it takes to chop, dice, puree, mix, combine, etc. before cooking begins), but it also includes the time spent tending something on the stovetop, in the oven or on the grill - and getting it to the table. If you cant walk away from it, we consider it active minutes. Total includes both active and inactive minutes and indicates the entire amount of time required for each recipe, start to finish.

Caffeine may seem like a good way to wake up, but too much can have the opposite effect. Four or more (regular-size) cups a day can lead to insomnia, interrupted sleep, or a lack of deep sleep. That can start an unhealthy cycle with long-term repercussions. The best recipe for energy throughout your day is a healthy lifestyle, which can include moderate amounts of caffeine and should definitely include regular exercise.
