Lee Ann, do you consider sweet potatoes and yams the same? I think they
are close enough.
Here'a recipe I like and I'm not big on sweet potatoes. It comes from
the cookbook, Lean and Luscious and Meatless by Bobbi Hinman and
Millie Snyder.

>These delicious pineapple-flavored sweet potatoes can be stuffed a day
>ahead and baked when needed.

1 Tbs chopped pecans (optional)

minutes, or until tender.

spoon, leaving a
1/4" shell.
In a medium bowl, combine potato pulp with crushed pineapple, vanilla,
cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix with a fork until well blended.

with
the back of a spoon.
