As you might guess from this blog I love to cook! Because of that I look forward to the holidays because it gives me a chance to plan a menu and cook for family and friends. I am probably one of the few people that looks forward to entertaining because I get to plan a meal. That being said I have actually started looking at recipes for the holidays. We all eat so heavy during the holidays and then not surprisingly the biggest month for gym membership signups is January. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to enjoy our meal without so much guilt that we had all that food? That is my goal for this year to make a healthy meal that doesn't make you feel that sense of regret later. Don't get me wrong I am still going to eat too much food but at least if it is a bit healthier I wouldn't feel as guilty. To start off this season I found my potato recipe on my first try!
I found a recipe on
Emily Bites that is to die for and it makes 12 (1/2 cup) servings at only 3 points plus per serving. Goat cheese mashed sweet potatoes have a creamy almost velvety texture from the goat cheese while still being slightly sweet from the sweet potatoes. They are amazing!
Ingredients
3lbs Sweet Potatoes
1/2 cup Fat Free Half and Half
3 T Light Butter
2 oz Goat Cheese
1/2 t Rubbed Sage
Salt and Pepper, to taste
