My Favorite: Sweet Potatoes

Growing up, candied yams were probably my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner. My mom would open up a couple cans, dump them in a 9x13 Pyrex pan, add butter & brown sugar, and put it in the oven. Then, when it was good and hot, she would put lots of mini marshmallows on top and throw them back in the oven for just enough time to develop the perfect golden brown & crunchy crust. Yum!

For the last 6-8 years, I've been experimenting with this side dish. Some were great, and some were not so great. It's not that I don't love what I grew up on, I just try not to eat out of cans. I'll be sharing a new, yummy sweet potato recipe with you every day (Monday-Friday) next week.
