• Add the zucchini and sauté, stirring frequently, until it is golden and tender.
• Add the scallions and sauté for another minute or so.
• Combine the zucchini mixture with the mashed sweet potato in the mixing bowl.
• Add the goat cheese and salt, and stir well to combine.
• Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells.

CHEESE-STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, prick lightly with a fork and microwave for six minutes, or until done. (Or, bake in oven at 400 degrees F for one hour or until done.) When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a small mixing bowl. Set aside potato skins.
• Mash the cooked potatoes with the three cheeses and salt and pepper. Distribute the potato mixture evenly among the potato shells. Top each with the sliced green onion and sprinkle paprika on top.
• Return potatoes to the microwave (one minute on high) or oven (10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees F) or until hot. Wrap or store in a portable container to bring to work or the gym; microwave on high for 1 1/2 to two minutes on high before eating.
