Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
Put the fall’s harvest to good use with this classic side dish. With its combination of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, chopped walnuts, and miniature marshmallows, this casserole is so delightful, you won’t even need dessert.

Ingredients
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes
Cooling time: 15 minutes

4 sweet potatoes (8 ounces each), unpeeled
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, canned in juice
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
I cup miniature marshmallows

Directions
Yield: 8 stuffed potato halves
Serving size: 1 stuffed potato half

1 – Preheat oven to 400˚F. Wrap each sweet potato in foil, place on oven rack, and bake for one hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and allow to cool 15 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop flesh into a bowl, leaving shells intact with 1/8–1/4 inch of flesh. Place shells in a baking dish and set aside. Using an electric mixer, mash flesh until smooth. Mix in margarine, brown sugar substitute, and spices. Drain pineapple well in a sieve, forcing out extra liquid with the back of a spoon. Stir drained pineapple into mashed sweet potatoes. Spoon filling into shells; sprinkle with walnuts and press on marshmallows. Return to the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until marshmallows are lightly toasted and potato is heated through.

Bison Steak Frites
Here’s a healthy twist on a bistro classic—Steak Frites. Bison steak is substituted for the beef steak, and the fries for baked sweet potatoes, served with a frisse salad garnished with blueberries.

Recipe Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato, sliced into 1/4 inch sticks
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground corriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
A pinch of cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
2 Bison ribeye steaks

Frisse Salad:
Watercress
2 tablepsoons cider vinegar
2 tablepsoons apple cider
1 1/2 tablepsoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1/4 cup safflower oil
Blueberries

Cooking Directions:
1 – In a large bowl combine the sweet potato, ginger, corriander, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, salt, cloves, cardamom, and extra virgin olive oil. Then toss to evenly coat the fries.
2 – Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and place in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven. They should take about 30 to 35 minutes to cook.
3 – Brush the ribeye steaks with extra virgin olive oil so they don’t stick to the grill and season with cracked black pepper and salt–make sure you get both sides.
4 – Place the steaks on a preheated grill pan and cook for a total of 7 to 8 minutes, flipping once.
5 – While the steaks rest, assemble the frisse and watercress salad. Add the washed greens to a large bowl and combine with the cider vinegar, apple cider, brown sugar, celery seed, granulated garlic and safflower oil. Toss then season with salt and pepper.
6 – Plate the salad and garnish with fresh blueberries.
7 – When the potatoes are done, slice the steak. Remember when slicing the steak to cut against the grain–this ensures that the meat will stay tender and juicy.
8 – Add the sliced steak on top of the sweet potato and plate the salad.
Makes 2 servings.
