Although I do have my own ways of making tasty sweet potato dishes, THIS IS REALLY OUTSTANDING, in preparation AND presentation as well as in taste ~ ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Don't know if it was meant to be done this way, but I didn't peel the potatoes (I usually don't, 'cause I like the skins!), & that just added to the overall taste AND nutrition! (All that sugar IS nutritious, isn't it?) Thanks for a wonderful keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #29]

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
