Thanks Connie, I’ve already got all the ingredients so I’m going to try it tomorrow night for dinner. Sounds fantastic.

I thought you might want to give this skinny recipe a try. Super yummy without all the sugar & butter!

Orange Ginger Sweet Potatoes

2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed, baked until soft, cooled and peeled
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger root (I use the stuff in a jar)
2 egg yolks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup orange juice, or to taste
1 Tbs butter
1 Tbs brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Bake, cool and peel your sweet potatoes (you can also microwave or boil them if you like) Mash them together with all of the ingredients. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish (top with pecans if you like) and bake at 450 for about 30 minutes.

In answer to your question – when I have time I love making my own pasta. And,no, I don’t have a machine – all by hand. That is why the noodles are sooooooo irregular. Fun! Try it!!

I’m thinking all that butter and sugar would make those carrots delicious! LOL I can’t wait to try it (along with adding a little brown sugar and pecans on top – why not just go completely overboard?!?!?!?!?).

Thanks for sharing – I love the nostalgic recipes!

I am with you Paula on the fat, calories, and sugar. I love carrots and this reminds me some of sweet potato casserole. Would have to make adjustments. Love the munching on the baby carrots as well.
