I have this thing about jalopena poppers that come from Walmart. So I stopped in to get some of them for me and my GKs and low and behold they had mashed sweet potatoes. I hate them! BUT, my DH loves the darn things. I got about a cup of them for him and he really liked them. I'll bet they were full of butter and what not, but couldn't have been any worse than deep-fried poppers!!!! I make a slimmed down version of a sweet potato casserole with skimmed evaporated milk, egg whites and light butter. Has a Whey low gold and pecan topping on it. My DH likes SF Carmel ice cream sauce on his baked sweet potato.

Today we had baked sweet potatoes and I split mine used french onion laughing cow cheese and bacon salt. Yum!!!!

I slice and bake mine with spices such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and red pepper flake. Sometimes I use Italian seasonings and a Parmesan cheese.

Grabbed this from the WW recipes section. I scour this entire site for ideas...please keep in mind, I am a working mom w/ very little time- this recipe is very easy to do and can be done at different time of the day! I threw my sweet potatoes in the oven while getting my girls ready for school, left them to cool and then when I got home in the evening, they were ready for me to make my soup! I love it, have made it two times already!

Don't know if this has been posted before, but I made it the other day and thought it was pretty good.

Sweet Potato Soup

2 large sweet potato(es)
2 cup(s) canned chicken broth, divided
1 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 cup(s) fat-free evaporated milk
1 tbsp chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool. When cool, remove and discard skin; chop potatoes.

Combine sweet potatoes and 3/4 cup of broth in a blender or food processor; blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute. Set potato mixture aside.

Melt margarine in a medium-size saucepan; stir in flour and ginger, and then add milk. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more and then stir in sweet potato mixture and remaining 1 1/4 cups of broth. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Pour into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon of pecans.

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a dash of curry powder with the flour and ginger.Yields about 1 cup per serving.4 Points per Serving
