Moroccan Sweet Potato Stew

If you know me, you know that I tend to be a picky person. It used to be if it wasn't American or Italian, I wouldn't eat it. But in the last few years, I've been expanding my food horizons - some successfully, some not so.

I thought this would be a good trip into a new food destination. And I liked it! From Sparkpeople.com:
