What I've been busy cooking lately:

Twice Baked Sweet Potato (WW recipe!)

Bake 3 sweet potatoes for about an hour at 400, or until soft. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and cut each potato in half. Remove the potato part and collect in a bowl, while saving the 6 skin halves. Mix the potatoes with 4 ounces cream cheese, a teaspoon of vanilla, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and one tablespoon of butter. Use a hand mixer to make them smooth. Spoon the potato filling back into the 6 skin halves, and top with a tablespoon of chopped pecans. Bake for another 5-8 minutes
