Stuffed Orange Ginger Sweet Potatoes QES

 I love sweet potatoes and over the years have come up with new ways to make them.  This time, I was struck my recipe in my Pillsbury Annual 2006 - page230.   It was grilled halves but it was stuffed with the sweet potato mixed with marmalade.  I had some marmalade that I had cooked down, in my refrigerator and wanted to use it up, and Pillsbury presented me with the perfect opportunity.

I had not looked at this particular book, in quite a while and I am glad I did.  I found a number of recipes to make, after Passover.  Putting cook books away is great when one takes them out again.  I had such fun, reading through the book and checking off recipes to make.  Their photos are good also.

Orange and Ginger Stuffed Sweet Potatoes    QED

Ingredients:

2 large  sweet potatoes (about 12 oz each)
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup ground walnuts (Use nut of choice.)
Spray Canola cooking oil.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees  F.
Prick sweet potatoes several times with fork; place on paper towel in microwave.
Microwave on High 8 to 10 minutes, turning potatoes over once halfway through cooking, just until potatoes are almost tender. Let stand 10 minutes. 
Mash pulp well. Stir in the marmalade and ginger.  Mash some more. Spoon mixture into potato shells. 
Sprinkle ground nuts on top of sweet potato halves.   Spray tops with cooking oil.
Place on baking sheet or in baking dish and bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
These were real good.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
