Recipes??

[ndngirl73]

i'm looking for healthful recipes! for example, i'm looking for something else to do with a sweet potato, i know people mash them, make fries out them and make pies but i'm just trying to find other ways to cook them or other combinations to go with them!

in the being healthy thread there have been some good recipes. i'm just wondering if people have more??!!

skin 'em, boil 'em, mash 'em up real good with an egg or two, some sugar (splenda is good on this), and some cinnamon, pour in a pie crust (or not) and bake it up. It perty good.

Also, leave the skin on, cut it in half and cook for a lil bit. Then scoop a bit out of the center and fill it some cooked wild rice, cranberry and canned chicked (ya know the type) put a lil maple syrup on it and put it back in the oven let it get cooked all the way through. Ats some goot stuff der.

legal, do you eat the skin?

[legalstraight]

I do, I know other folks that don't. It's a personal thing. But at my grandma's we never peeled veggies and I really think that makes 'em taste better. But, my wife is a peeler.

By the way she reminded me that the stuffed sweet potato can also be done with acorn squash also.

Sweet Potatoes are very healthy. Much healthier than the regular white ones.
I love 'em! Have you ever tried just baking them?
Or candied sweet potatoes?
