Sweet Potato Pie Recipe








A delicious pie with no guilt! Sweet potatoes are an excellent health food: they are packed with Vitamin A and also have vitamins C and B6, as well as manganese and a bit of potassium. Forget about the canned versions, though -- they are usually high in sugar and lower in nutritional content than fresh sweet potatoes. It's easy to make a healthy and tasty sweet potato pie with this recipe; however, the baking required does take time.





(8 servings)





Ingredients





9'; pie crust





4 sweet potatoes





2/3 cup skim or soy milk





1 tbs cornstarch





1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or


1/4 tsp cardamon





1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground ginger


olive oil

Wash sweet potatoes clean, then pierce several times.





Heat sweet potatoes until very soft.


Microwaving: Place sweet potatoes on a paper towel and microwave for 13 minutes, then wrap in aluminum foil and let stand for 10 minutes.





Baking: Preheat oven to 375 F. Place sweet potatoes in a baking dish and bake for 60-90 minutes, or until very soft.


Let cool, then peel and mash.

The worst thing when you're trying to eat a healthy diet is the way it's so easy to go out and get something fattening from the sandwich shop at lunch time. I find if I do this, I don't just get a sandwich but a bag of crisps or a bar of chocolate too.


If you have access to a microwave at your place of work spend Sunday evening making a nice simple nutritious ifit stew (If it's in the cupboard, it's in the stew) and take portions with you through the week. I'm veggie, so my stew usually contains lentils or pulses, but you can do a similar thing with lean meat - just remember to reheat thoroughly and reheat only once. It's simple, convenient and fills the gap better than a sandwich.

Rob, thats a little subjective. I may have some tips but I need to know where you lean on a healthier lifestyle. For example, are you refering to an overall moderated diet, or are you refering to low carb and vice versa? Depending on what angle you want to approach this lifestyle you can get some answers. I'll check on your responses.
