The original recipe, posted to SparkPeople by user TBSCHOEN, is intended to serve 4. The recipe contains half of a sweet potato and half of a butternut squash. I just could not let that stand, so I doubled the recipe.
Using only half of a highly perishable vegetable means I will usually just be feeding the remaining half of the vegetable to mold. I like to eat waaaay too much to allow that to happen! I like recipes that use whole quantities of perishable foods, such as an entire vegetable, or a whole can of tomato paste. I can’t use just 2 tablespoons of tomato paste – the rest is just going to go bad before I get around to using it!.
