Getting there

Healthy Eating

Feb11

2012 is  here, and a wonderful year it is going to be.
My pre New Years resolution is to cook more and eat a tad more healthily. I want to do more with the wonderful fresh veges we have at our local farmers market and what we have growing . However over Christmas I have slightly pigged out on chocolate ( 2 of the basic food groups – dairy and fruit, my theory anyway )
A good start to our healthy eating will be this, which I shall try on the weekend.
Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Use as many Sweet potatoes as needed for your dinner
Preheat the grill to approximately 350 degrees (approximately medium on a gas grill)
This will be approximately when the coals are white on a charcoal grill.
Place the sweet potatoes on the highest rack.
Turn one quarter turn every 10 minutes.
Check for tenderness after 40 minutes. If there are still hard spots, continue to turn every 5 minutes until done.
Serve with butter and a little paprika
With a piece of fish and a crispy green salad -Yummy
