Zucchini and Goat Cheese stuffed Sweet Potatoes
"The cheese contrasts wonderfully with the subtle sweetness of the potato. This is a great vegetarian side dish that I also ate as a lite meal. I think even the non-veg may enjoy this simple to prepare "stuffed" sweet potato"

Great flavor BUT I recommend not restuffing the potato. I made the whole mixture into mashed potatoes. The stuffed shell added nothing and the filling was superb enough on its own. -
This is a delicious way to serve sweet potatoes, and very quick and easy, too! I added some marjoram for a little extra flavor. -
Very tasty! Creamy and warm, perfect for cold weather. Two of five diners didn't like sweet potatoes but enjoyed this anyway. I used goat cheese that had basil and roasted garlic mixed in.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
