Thanksgiving dinner is getting closer and closer. I mean, shoot, we are already in the second week of school. Can you believe that!
Each year, although I’m highly traditional and you’ll always find traditional dishes on my holiday table, I try and look for new recipe ideas. I love serving my family flavorful dishes over the holidays.
One thing I always make is sweet potatoes. However, the casserole that I whip up is very time consuming to make. Between the turkey, stuffing, and scalloped potatoes, I don’t always have time to mess with other dishes.
So, when I stumbled across this easy candied sweet potato recipe I was quite pleased. It really doesn’t get easier than this, folks.
