Sweet Potato Scoops
"I got this idea from the local supermarket weekly ad. I adjusted the spices used in this recipe to my liking. This seasoning mixture would also taste nice as a sprinkle on baked sweet potatoes or mixed into mashed sweet potatoes. Be forewarned, these have a bite to them. Use less curry and ginger if you're not fond of very spicy."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I was born and raised in central Ohio, with family roots in West Virginia as well. I now live in coastal Florida and really enjoy having so much fresh seafood available. There are a lot of great restaurants in this area, but I decided a couple of years ago that I could make equally delicious food at home for a fraction of the cost. Since then, I've been honing my skills, trying different recipes, which in turn help me to develop new skills and try new things. I also watch a lot of Food Network TV, which gives me even greater confidence to experiment.</p>
