In an attempt to put a healthier version of mashed potatoes on the table, I tried mashed sweet potatoes last night. Weight Watchers provided a recipe for which I had all ingredients, including the non-fat greek yogurt...bonus.I was rather proud of myself for offering such a colorful side dish full of Beta carotene, vitamin A and fiber.
"What is this?" was the question of the night, but everyone tried some. "Interesting." was Erin's comment. Zach's replay went like this, "At first I was like sweet, then I was like pumpkin, then I was like Blaachhhh, then it was back on my plate."!! That kid cracks me up.
Surprisingly there were leftovers...that didn't make it to the fridge. Oh well, at least I tried. Looking forward to good old fashioned mashed potatoes later in the week with sour cream and butter. Better save some points.
at least you tried! :) I tried to made sweet potato fries and they didn't turn out so hot either! :)
