    Roasted is always good with a little olive oil.

    or make a soup with sweet potato, onions, garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin and lime juice. Add a good handful of chopped fresh corriander/cilantro at the end.

    Mashed with a little flour added to make a dough and make ghnochi with it

    cut lengthways roast and stuff with mexican chicken

    YUMMY yummy - now I'm hungry

    cut it up, put in a glass baking dish, put in a little butter spray or olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Heat oven to 375, cook for 15 minutes, turn and cook for 15 more or until tender.

    Ooooh! I have to try this!

    My go-to is just microwaving frozen cubes and smushing up with curry powder.

    Below is a link to a gastronomy website from a local Inn. The link goes straight to their recipe for Butternut Squash Bisque. It calls for heavy cream, but I always make it without to cut the calories. It tastes the same and still has the same consistancy. I have made this a dozen times and love it more every time. Even the picky eaters in the family rave about it. Enjoy!

  • I'm pretty sure there is one here. I've started following that diet a few months ago, I'm sure your family will like the healthy side of it because healthy living is mostly what you eat.
