These are so good - you eat the skin and all - they are crunchy, chewy, and very satifying. I have modified the recipe for cooking just 1 sweet potato, which is supposed to be 1 serving, but it actually serves 2 pretty nicely so nutritional info is based on 2 servings.
Chop garlic very fine.
Add dijon to the garlic and whisk in the olive oil.
Add the juice of a lemon and whisk again.
Add the balsamic vinegar and whisk until an emulsion has occurred.
Asian vinaigrette: Substitute sesame oil (decrease to 1 T) for the Olive oil and soy sauce for the lemon. Use Rice vinegar instead of balsamic and add grated fresh ginger.
You can change the flavor by experimenting with different oils (I love walnut, unrefined peanut and avocado oil) and different acidic bases (lemon juice, different vinegars, grapefruit juice, etc) and omitting garlic to tone down the flavor as well. Be creative in your approach to the flavor and use the best ingredients you can afford.
I was inspired by The Chew's Fridge Raiders and wanted to see what I could make with my fresh tomatoes from my garden. I ate the whole servings....before I calculated the calories. Next time one tomato with some kind of meat dish.
This is a high calorie food. But, the calories are all in the meat so measure your meat and fill up on the vegetables. I calculated this as a 12 serving recipe to parcel the meat serving to 4 ounces and it's still pretty high.
Enjoy it once or twice per year
This is a nice dessert that I make upon occassion. I use sugar free and lowfat products.

Uses corn tortillas instead of flour, and nutritional information is calculated accordingly for those of us with gluten intolerances.
Very quick, very simple, and very delicious! I chose the HyTop brand of Teriyaki sauce because it had the lowest amount of sodium of the choices available at the grocer.
Very Simple to make....Takes next to nothing to cook. I enjoy cooking this with rice and some steamed vegatables. (Extremely filling with 15 large shrimp per person).
I find that simply adding lemon does not hide the natural shrimp flavor but enhances it.
I used all the "light" or fat free kinds of ingredients I could and it's not the best for a good diet but, for a nice change on occation this is a very tastey dish that my whole family loves. I hope yours will, too!
You can use just about any kind of fruit, I also like to use fresh pumpkin instead of the applesauce.
Great Low Calorie, Meal. With Subitutions its Very low Fat and calorie! Great for Occations or just a quick meal. and Freezes Great! its our Ukrainian Tradition!
You can replace with your favorite vegetables; these are just what I happened to have in the fridge :)
