I invented a new dish... to a cooked sweet potato, I add 2 ounces of soyrizo and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt. I don't know what vegans could use in place of the yogurt, but it isn't really necessary. This makes a great breakfast and keeps me full till lunch.

That sounds pretty interesting. What exactly is soyrizo? I would love to taste it. Where would I be able to buy it?

Soyrizo is meatless chorizo (chorizo is a pork sausage of Spanish/Portugese origin.) It is pretty readily available where I live, in San Diego County, but if you can't find it near you, you can buy it online- http://www.melissas.com/catalog/index.cfm?product_ID=642&info=Yes. I buy mine at Trader Joe's, which carries their own brand, but other brands are sold at health food stores and in some of the larger supermarkets. I like it a lot.

Now I've invented a new dessert. I wanted something I could have in one of my pretty dessert bowls and feel like I was having a real dessert... not a sugar free 40 calorie Fudgesicle. Don't get me wrong, I like sugar free 40 calorie Fudgesicles, but they just don't feel decadent. I used reduced fat Cool Whip mixed with a cup of fresh raspberries and topped it off with five small gingersnaps, crushed into crumbs. Yum!

Mercy, that probably one of those recipes that sounds gross but probably tastes good. But it sounds gross. LOL

Raspberries, Cool Whip and gingersnaps sound gross to you? Boy, you don't want to hear some of the concoctions I come up with then.

Now that's a combination I know I would love.......:yeah:

Actually I didn't notice there were more posts and I was talking about the sweet potato/soyrizo/yogurt combination, which sounds totally gross. I'm all about desserts though. :)

I totally concur! But that's cuz I am not crazy about sweet potato (as good for you as it is, supposedly much better than regular potato!)

GREEK YOGURT however is fantastic! have you ever tried it? No sour, no curd-y consistency - ohh it is dreamy!

Sweet potato with soyrizo and Greek yogurt is just a healthier version of a baked potato with chili and sour cream.
