COOL! Thanks Nel

Okay, I tried it. OMG! So amazing. I think sweet potatoes may be my new favorite vehicle for peanut butter.

Nelie~ Japanese sweet potatoes are good. I baked some of them, but I still have a few which I'll try roasting. I do love roasted veggies.

Glad you liked it zenor! I know, I know..... :drool: :T

Dumb question, are you talking about yams or actual sweet potatoes? I'm perpetually confused about that....

Gosh PB & Sweet Potato sounds divine. I have around 300 calories left for the day...and NO sweet potatoes...:( I do have a butternut squash, I wonder what PB and BN squash would taste like? Hummm

Leeesa-- Sweet potatoes--pinkish/orangeish outside, orangeish inside, more tubular in shape than baking potatoes, sweet taste. (ISTM that in most of the US, what's sold as yams actually are sweet potatoes.)

Thanks, I'm going to get some tomorrow and try it, it sounds yum!

I had one yesterday and I loved it. In the Biggest Loser family cookbook they have one with the Laughing Cow cheese. I have not tried it but it sounds good as well and a little savory.

Sweet potatoes are now on my lunch menu, and they are so cheap.

Oh!!! Drat!!! I already had lunch but this sounds yummy! I love both sweet potatoes and PB. Tomorrow fer sure.

Nelie,
Thanks again for the heads up on the african peanut stew recipe! I finally had the chance to make it today and I loved it! I will be freezing some of it too, so many thanks, I can tell our taste buds are definitely on the same wave length!

Here's the recipe again http://www.relishmag.com/recipes/vie...anut-stew.html

I have soooo much to learn.....I never thought of a sweet potato as a " diet " food. :dizzy: what a super healthy yum-yummy lunch. Thanks for posting .....can't wait till lunch:D

Wow, am I ever so glad I stumbled across this thread.

PEANUT BUTTER & SWEET POTATOES! That sounds like a sure fire hit. Yumm. Yumm. Yumm. That African Peanut Stew sounds pretty awesome as well.

Thanks for sharing.

Your welcome Rockin, hope you enjoy the combo! My taste buds certainly enjoy it.

I've been eating one or two sweet potatoes nightly for the past two weeks (they were on sale at WallyWorld for $.50/lb and I went crazy!). I usually wash one, stab it a couple of times (great stress relief after a long day:p), nuke it with the skin on, add a little low cal butter and brown sugar.......:drool: HEAVEN!!!

I just tried the PB sweet potato dish and I must admit it was awesome!!, but I was a little disapointed how calorie dense it was. Just a small serving came to 205 calories (151g sweet potato (approx 1/2c.) 115cal. and 1 T PB 90cal.) which is over half of my lunch calories. Maybe once I'm in maintaince and can have more daily calories this will become a nice treat.

I also wondered about JasonsLea's post here about eating one or 2 sweet potatoes a night! I picked out the smallest I could find and they were still around 14 to 18 oz each. One whole would be around 400-500 calories!
