I buy loose veggies as opposed to prepacked stuff as they are generally cheaper.....which has the added bonus of no sell/use by dates so they last forever! If they look/smell okay they'll be fine to eat.

Does anyone have a good recipie for sweet potato pie? I love sweet potato but it's getting a bit boring mashed!

Hi frugalsar,

I can't find a recipe on the board for sweet potato pie, but there are lots of sweet potato ideas on this older thread:

I have two suggestions -

Firstly a dee-lish-ous Donna Hay recipe I made last year 'Sweet Potato and Sage Tart' recipe to follow....

Secondly I searched and found a recipe for sweet potato pie filling and sweet potato cookies on the same blog! No need to get tired of sweet potato now!
