Delicious sweet and healthy, low-sugar sweet potatoes that taste like they're mixed with maple syrup

I found this recipe on recipezaar.com, but it was a higher fat and calorie version. The original recipe was posted by Tish and it's Baked Sweet Potato recipe #55678 on 'Zaar. Anyway, I had to make some significant substitutions to make the fat and calorie counts more diet friendly. It worked and this turned out fantastic! We served this with lean country style pork ribs and they were amazingly good. I think this would also pair well with Salmon.

You'll never believe these sweet and crunchy chips were made in the microwave. They'll become your new favorite savory snack.

Not your every day potatoes. Goes great with chicken or pork.

If using W8W Core program, this is core and you'll be getting in your daily healthy oil (the whole reason I thought these up).

MODIFIED 5/3/10 - reduced the fat and changed the sausage to chicken instead of turkey, also used onion powder instead of onions.

Good old-fashioned fried potatoes with sausage & onions. You can make this with less butter and/or oil to lower the calories even further. The smoked turkey sausage is a little high in sodium, but I haven't been able to find any lower in my area.

Red, Hot and Blue serves a dish called Idaho Pig, with Pulled Pork for a total of 1022.61 calories per serving and that is without vegetables. Due to my allergies, it is one of the few meals that I can eat out and that is almost a full day's worth of calories for me. So I am remaking that recipe to a healthier portion size and with some healthier options. It is a great way to use the left over Thanksgiving turkey.

My husband and 2 year old love these. I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This delicious and very addictive treat is perfect for any holiday.

Sweet and creamy, both sweet potatos and beans are good sources of dietary fiber!

A small dinner perfect for a cozy night at home; this meal is packed with potassium.

Baked potatoes stuffed with seasoned cottage cheese are a lavish low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-sodium treat.

This is an interesting twist on mashed potatoes. The avocados add a buttery, creamy texture with a fraction of the calories and saturated fat of butter and cream!

A new spin on potatoes...I know we have several potato lovers out there, but who needs the extra calories and fat from butter and sour cream? This is an easy side and it tastes great without all the stuff you don't need.

Real comfort food for days when you just can't look at another salad.

This hearty, savory meal was inspired by leftover baked potatoes. The result is a quick breakfast loaded with protein.

This is an incredibly healthy and low fat way to get some nutrients in at dinner time. This meal is absolutely delicious and VERY quick to make.

NOTE: This is definitely NOT for low-carb people.

When you're craving something crunchy but don't want the added fat, whip up a batch of these chips.

Breakfast scramble based on a childhood favorite

My Grandma used to make this and it has passed down through the family with each of us adding our own little bits. You can substitute the potatoes for pasta if you want to use the mince for bolognaise.
