    Baked or microwaved, topped with a tablespoon of fresh ground almond butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    Also, I am trying this recipe later this week.

    Sweet potato and coconut soup - yum!

    2 Sweet potatoes
    1 medium onion
    1 Litre chicken stock
    1 tbsp thai curry paste
    1 can coconut milk
    Juice 1 lime

    Peel and chop onion & sweet potato and add to pan with stock and curry paste. Simmer until veg soft. Add coconut milk and lime juice - blend until smooth.

    Makes 5 nice big portions.

    I get this as 170 cals per portion but it will differ depending on weight of sweet potato and brand of coconut milk!

    I fry them up in coconut oil with regular potatoes, garlic, onions, and sometimes a bit of bacon. Great side dish, goes well with eggs too.

    I'm following paleo and love to make sweet potato frittata! Diced sweet potatos, onion, red/orange/yellow peppers, sweet italian sausage (or your favorite sausage), eggs....all cooked and scrambled up. Very filling and very tasty!

    I'm a huge fan of loaded sweet potatoes, but then again I love Mexican food. I usually steam the potato, then load it up with salsa, fresh tomato, green pepper, corn, a little scoop of light sour scream and a sprinkle of cheese. Right around 300 calories, easy, delicious and SUPER filling.

    I love roasted sweet potatoes. I'll peel and dice 2 of them, then toss with olive oil, cumin, cinnamon, paprika and cayenne. I usually roast them at about 450 degrees until they start to darken/they're at the texture I want. They're fabulous.

    I have been dying to try this recipe I found on pinterest!

    http://gourmandeinthekitchen.com/2012/baked-feta-stuffed-sweet-potato-recipe/

    2 medium red skinned sweet potatoes, about 8-10oz each and scrubbed clean
    2 oz feta cheese
    2 oz black olives chopped
    1 oz sun dried tomatoes
    1/4 chopped fresh parsley
    1/2 tsp dried or 2 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
    1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

    1)Preheat the oven to 400F. Pierce each sweet potato several times with the tines of a fork. Place them directly on middle oven rack with a piece of foil on the rack below.

    2)Bake until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a knife and cooked through, about 45-60 minutes depending on size.

    3)Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle.

    4)While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the topping. Mix together remaining ingredients in a small bowl and set aside until the sweet potatoes are done.

    5)Slice sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center to expose cooked insides, top with feta mixture and serve.

    I LOVE Sweet Potatoes and always look for new ways to eat them. I can suggest two:

    1. Cut them extremely thin and lay them out on a cookie sheet. Baste them with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt. Broil for 15-20 minutes until they turn into "chips."

    2. Boil them, mash them, put them in the microwave, etc...But, ultimately, when they are cooked, sprinkle them with brown sugar, garlic salt and chili powder. It makes a lovely mix of spicy/sweet/salty mix and is extremely flavorful!
