Ever since my husband almost left us suddenly this January and thanks to the medical advancements we have today which have saved his coronary arteries, we are both on quite a health kick - a new lifestyle actually. So....I have been looking up new and healthier recipes. I found one or two for Stuffed Sweet Potatoes. I took the recipe as a guide and just winged it from then on. The result: I was beaming as hubby wouldn't shut up about how good they were.
Two sweet potatoes: baked for an hour and then cut in half. Scoop out the insides and put in a medium sized bowl.
Meanwhile, while the potatoes are baking, cut up a small onion and with a little olive oil, fry them up. When the potatoes are almost done, throw in some baby spinach into the pan (I used a healthy handful) and some grape tomatoes cut in half, and some chopped pecans. If the spinach doesn't wilt right away, add a bit of water. Stir everything together.
Pour the onion/spinach mixture into the bowl with the potato pulp, add about a half a cup of goat cheese and mix well. Then scoop out the mixture and place even amounts into the four potato shells. I put a dob of goat cheese on top of each one and back in the oven for a few minutes to heat up. You could add skim mozz cheese on top too. Or sprinkle with parmesan.
Eat and enjoy. Simply yummy! These potatoes are a meal in itself, but we cooked up a couple of skinless, boneless chicken thighs to go along as well.
And for dessert, we had chocolate tofu pie with ground flaxseed in the graham crust!
Stupendous! Healthy eating is where it's at, people!:yes:
