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 nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F.
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.
Reduce oven heat to 350 F.
Blend sweet potato mash and the rest of the ingredients until creamy.
Spoon pie mix into crust.
Bake for 1 hour. Pie is done when knife inserted into middle comes out cleanly.
Serving Ideas
Garnish pie with crushed walnuts or pecans.
Top pie will a dollop of fat free, sugar free whipped cream.
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.

Sesame Chicken
3 whole boneless chicken breasts
Marinade:
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon cooking wine or dry sherry
a few drops of sesame oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch (corn flour)
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Sauce for Sesame Chicken:
1/2 cup water
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 cup vinegar (Guide notes: I find that a little low. It all depends on how sweet you want the sauce; for a sweeter sauce use less vinegar)
1/4 cup cornstarch (corn flour)
1 cup sugar
2 TB dark soy sauce
2 TB sesame oil
1 tsp chili paste, or more if desired
1 clove garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
3 1/2 - 4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying
Directions:
Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.
To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.
To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.
Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil.
Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.

Fried Rice
Serves 3 to 5
Ingredients:
4 cups cold cooked rice
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons canola, corn, or peanut oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions or diced onion
1 teaspoon thick soy sauce*
1 cup fresh peas, parboiled, or thawed frozen peas
1 cup diced carrots, parboiled or thawed frozen carrots
1/2 cup diced cooked ham, chicken, turkey or pork
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
Directions:
Place the rice in a large bowl and use your fingers to break up any lumps. Set aside. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
Pour the oil into a wok or stir-fry pan and place the pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the scallions; they should sizzle. Stir for about 15 seconds. Stir the beaten eggs into the pan with a spatula and scramble until the eggs are dry and separate.
Add the rice to the eggs and mix thoroughly. Pour the soy sauce evenly over the mixture. Add the peas, carrots, ham, and bean sprouts. Stir constantly until all the ingredients are well mixed and heated through. Serve the fried rice immediately.
*Available in Asian markets. You can substitute dark soy sauce, but you will need to add more than 1 teaspoon to get the same dark color.

3/4 cup Ancho Chile Salsa (recipe follows)
1. Char peppers (or chiles) on all sides directly over a gas flame until the skin blackens and blisters, or broil directly under a preheated broiler until the skin blisters and begins to pull away from the pepper. Wrap in paper towels until cool.
2. Use the paper towel to carefully rub off the blistered skin. Leave the stems on. Make a 2-inch slit lengthwise in each pepper and remove the seeds. Tuck a piece of cheese into each pepper and fold the pepper over to completely enclose the cheese.
3. Working over a shallow bowl or plate, rub the oregano between your palms to bring out the flavor. Add flour and salt and stir to combine. Put egg whites in another shallow bowl or plate and lightly beat until frothy. Dip each pepper into the flour mixture to coat on all sides, brush off any excess, then dip into the egg whites.
4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully set each pepper into the hot pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the peppers are golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. (If you have larger peppers, you may need to cook them in two batches.) Serve warm with 2 tablespoons Ancho Chile Salsa each.

Need a good recipe for a healthy Broccoli Salad! Any Ideas?
Tangy Sweet Broccoli Salad With Splenda
(NOTE THAT THIS IS A HEALTHY RECIPE)
This is a tangy sweet broccoli salad which is normally made with quite a bit of added sugar and bacon. I replaced the added sugar with splenda and eliminated the bacon and it is still wonderful! A member of our family who does not normally eat brocolli, eats this salad.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Large Bunch Fresh Broccoli
1 Med. Onion Diced (red or white)
1 - 2 C. Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar
1 C. Lite Mayo
3 Tbls. Cider Vinegar
Splenda
Variations: Broccoli / Cauliflower blend - This is very good as well.
PREPARATION:
Cut or chop broccoli into small pieces.
Dice onion (we prefer larger pieces).
Combine broccoli, onion and cheese in a large bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine mayo and vinegar and blend well.
Start adding stevia a tiny pinch at a time and stir well. You will want to end up with a nice tangy sweet taste somewhat like sweet pickles.
Avoid over-doing the stevia as it may impart a bitter flavor.
When the desired flavor has been reached, pour it into the broccoli mixture and blend it well.
For best flavor, store in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, stirring it from time to time.Need a good recipe for a healthy Broccoli Salad! Any Ideas?
