While it's suppose to be spring it's quite cool here today and overcast which means it must be a baking day. Went looking through RZ for a recipe to include ingredients I had on hand. I found a can of left over yams from the past holidays in the pantry and the rest is history. The house has warmed up, smells great and the finished product is sitting out to cool. Looks and smells awesome, can hardly wait. Thanks Steve for sharing. Couldn't wait, had a small buttered slice. Oh, soooo goood
