Brown Rice, Brown Pasta or sweet potato. Recipes?

I have been told to eat either brown rice, brown pasta or sweet potatoes in the evenings because it will help my bike riding early am the next day. I went out today and bought all these and cooked some of the rice....AAAHHHRRRR!!!!!!!! YUK. Is there any quick and easy recipe I can use for any of these 3 things without swamping them in fat and still giving me the full carbs without it tasting like poison? How do you eat yours? How do I eat it? Thanks.Brown Rice, Brown Pasta or sweet potato. Recipes?
We usually cook Sweet Potatoes inthe same way as regular Jacket potatoes - just scrub and bake.


For a meal Jacket ';Peruvian Sweet Potatoes';


Jacket potato baked in its skin.


Scoop out the soft potato into a bowl, stir in 1 ounce (25gr) cream cheese. half an egg yolk (I usually do two at once!) 1/2 tspchilli powder, 1 large chopped spring onion, add sea salt %26amp; black pepper to taste. Mix the lot together, pile back into the skin. Dot a little butter or extra grated cheese on top. Sprinkle with a little extra chilli powder and grill.





To make rice more acceptable, have you come across the Thai style sweet chilli dip? That stirred into it gives a whole new flavour.


Or just chop in things like onion, sweet corn, chopped mushrooms, etc.Brown Rice, Brown Pasta or sweet potato. Recipes?
I really like whole wheat spaghetti with tomato sauce with green, red, and yellow peppers, mushrooms, and onions. I make a lot of baked potatoes and grilled chicken breasts when the weather permits. I wrap the potatoes in foil with just a spay of cooking oil like pam. I don't put anything on them, they taste great by them self. You can bake a sweet potato the same way. I always use the huge potato's like you find in restaurants. Carrots baked in foil taste very much like a sweat potato and are great as a side dish as well as green beans.
Sweet Potatoe pie, or just mashed with butter.
