Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Friends, Coincidentally, I had sweet potatoes yesterday, the lighter type which are different from the more orange yams. I think just having them available to use as a basic, of either variety of tuber, is good for us. They were sliced with skins on, cooked in a small amount of water in a fairly flat pan, so I didn't boil them to death and pour off all the vitamins in the water. I added S & P with a bit of butter spray. I think they would be fine for any use, with chili, or used as one would any potato. Yams seem sweeter to me.

I like it, and a found it OK to use to get some " butter, " flavor...but it is salty. I try to cut the fat and sugars, for weight loss and for health. To me, leaving out the sweet taste...in many ways, is the hardest for me in slimming. Some say the substitutes might be just as bad as a few extra pounds. What do you think? I added a recipe to my Healthy Eating ideas on my blog. I am trying to get it going, but I always have too much on my plate...pun intended. GRIN! Good luck with your day!
