This is a yummy recipe that I made up one day with some dressing I had leftover from another recipe (from a cookbook, so I can’t reproduce it here).

It turned out delicious and so I offer it up for your taste buds to enjoy!

If you are trying to lose weight, sweet potatoes are a great alternative to white potatoes or rice at dinner. Sweet potatoes have carbohydrates (which you need,) but are also chock-full of vitamins. Many of my patients have found it easier to lose weight when they substitute sweet potatoes for other carbs/grains at some of their meals. One serving size is equal to approximately 1/2 medium sweet potato for a 130 pound woman (or less) or 1 medium sweet potato for just about everyone else.

Wondering why there aren’t any measurements? I don’t know what the measurements are. I’m an experimental cook and I combine ingredients on a whim whenever inspired. Everyone’s taste buds are different; so experiment in your own kitchen and cater to the taste buds of you and your family!
