Sounds wonderful. Are the leftovers freezable?
Thanks.
Aynn, Definitiely! Just be sure to cool before freezing. Also, allow to defrost in the fridge the night before serving. 🙂
I am using this diet as a cleanser and to help getting a healthier immune system. I feel thinner but I haven’t weighed my self. If I haven’t lost much then I might quit the diet. I went on the weight watcher diet and ate the same thing everyday because I hate counting things. I did that for nine months and finally lost thirty pounds. I never changed a pants size. I was told by my doctor when I was quite young that I had a very slow metabolic rate. Because I am crazy about sweets and some salty things, I find it hard to be satisfied on this diet. I couldn’t eat fruit for about four years due to an allergy. I love fruit more than anything so of course I eat a lot of it but between fruit calories, hating to cook and eating nuts to keep from being hungry, I feel like I am taking in too many calories. I am very upset at the lack of not losing fast enough. My clothes feel better but I don’t have to buy smaller clothes at all. I have been on the diet for about two months. Does it take longer? Pam
Pam, I’m not sure what diet you are referring to?
Do you think this could be done in an instant pot?
Hi, Heather. We actually have an Instant Pot sweet potato recipe you might like: https://skinnyms.com/instant-pot-loaded-baked-sweet-potato-recipe/ Thanks!
Do you strip off the skin before putting the sweet potatoes in the crockpot?
That is a personal preference, if you like the skin on then don’t peel. If you prefer skin-free then peel.
