Variation on Bahama Breeze Recipe

Submitted by AMYGO75

I love candied yams with all the sugar and marshmallows, but I wanted to create a recipe that would not be loaded with unhealthy carbs.
I played around, and used different ingredients and my family was happy with this recipe.
You can certainly experiment and add your own things-- like pineapple, honey instead of maple syrup.
I don't use Splenda, though, because I don't consider that ingredient to be "natural" and good for our body. It's up to you, though!

A re-working of the traditional Thanksgiving side dish. Extra Mushrooms and garlic hide the fact that you are using low-fat dairy products.

Love pumpkin pie? Hate the guilt? The preservatives of the store made brands? This is an easy to make and bake pumpkin pie, best of all using fat free milk, egg whites, and low fat pie crust cut the calories and fat more than in half! This tastes great and is excellent with fat free cool whip!!! Feel free to make it full fat if you dare, or add a little bit more spices for more of kick. Great for thanksgiving!! Enjoy!

Actually, you can use any combination of root vegetables with turnips to create an assortment of mashed goodies containing all kinds of vitamins and minerals. Some people add a little brown sugar to hide the turnip but I like the nutty flavor turnips add to the mix. I also like mixing turnips with sweet potatoes (American yams).

A nice fall treat; perfect with a warm cup of tea.

A yummy way to cut the calories, not the tradition.

Try these light and low-fat personal pies for dessert during the fall. They're a great substitute for pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole.

This pie crust has a crunchy addition: pepitas, or shelled pumpkin seeds. They add a nice nutty flavor.

Try this dip on a toasted whole-wheat bagel at breakfast or with apple slices or whole-grain crackers for a snack. It's even good with carrots.
