    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.
