  I use Yams and Sweet Potatoes interchangeably.

  I'm doing a casserole that includes mashed yams/sweet potatoes, ground walnuts, cream cheese, eggs, brandy - yummy! It ends up kind of like a souffle, but without the worry of a souffle. If it sounds interesting to you - let me know and I'll type out the recipe when I get home after lunch. 

   

  Married 08.06
  Started TTC 05.08
  Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
  DH: perfect
  1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
  2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
  
  
  
  1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!

  This one is great!

  2 lg. yams/sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 2" pieces

  1/4 cup orange juice

  2 Tbsp. brown sugar

  2 Tbsp. maple syrup

  1 Tbsp. butter or margerine

  salt to taste

   

  • Preheat oven to 375?F.
    
    
  • Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover potatoes. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes and arrange them in a single layer in bottom of a shallow baking dish.
    
    
  • Whisk together juice, sugar, syrup, margarine and salt; pour mixture over sweet potatoes.
    
    
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then stir to coat potatoes with liquid and bake for 15 minutes more, until sauce is thick and bubbly. Stir once again before serving. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

  1 egg

  3/4 c brown sugar

  cinnamon

  1/2 tsp vanilla

  1 1/2 tsp salt

  Here's a recipe for a sweet potato-carrot puree that I've made several times.  https://weheartthis.com/2009/11/16/for-the-thanksgiving-table-sweet-potato-and-carrot-puree/  It's equally good without the butter or you can use only a ractin of the amount called for.  Also, instead of expensive, high calorie creme fraiche, I usee yogurt cheese (non fat plain yogurt that has been sieved so all the liquids are removed).  I've also added a can of drained mandarin oranges or chopped pears.

   Bon appetit.
