Pineapple and Ham Stuffed Sweet Potatoes and an Asian Slaw Dressing

The Ham and Pineapple Stuffed Sweet Potatoes (Rating: 7) was a recipe I found in his book Fresh Start: Your Child's Jump Start to Lifelong Healthy Eating which we borrowed from our local library.  The salty sweet combination was great.  We don't eat ham very often but we had some in the freezer to use up.

We served it with an Asian slaw of shredded cabbage and cucumbers and scallions.  I topped it with chopped peanuts and a dressing I got off some Internet message board.  It also earned a Rating: 7 but I don't think it'll make a repeat in our house.  It was good but there is more out there.

Asian Slaw Dressing
for one small head of cabbage 

1 Tbsp. peanut butter
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
2 1/2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce

Mix well and toss with slaw.
