Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Hi Zesty readers!
My name is Amy and I write a health and fitness blog over at Amy’s Quest to Skinny. When Zesty asked for guest posts, I jumped at the chance as I have a fabulous recipe to share that will be perfect for my favorite holiday that is just around the corner: THANKSGIVING. (Well for us Canadians anyway!!)

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 Sweet potatoes
• 2-3 Tbsp ff/light cream cheese
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• Splash of vanilla
• 1-2 Tsp of margarine/butter
• Toasted almond slivers or walnuts
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Pierce sweet potatoes with fork; bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 45 to 60 minutes or until tender.
3. Cut thin slice from top of each potato; scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.
4. In large bowl, mash potatoes; stir in remaining ingredients except brown sugar.
5. Spoon into potato shells; sprinkle with brown sugar.
6. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

A big thanks to Zesty for allowing me the opportunity to share this recipe. Please stop by Amy’s Quest to Skinny to say hello!

Zesty Commentary

Thanks Amy for such a great post.  I am sure this will be a huge hit on dinner tables around the globe.  I am back in Canada and I will be home very shortly.  Once I arrive at the airport – I will be off directly to the building site.  Lots of updates are in order for next week.  Have a great weekend!

Take care
