Loved them! I had two sweet potatoes to use up and didn't feel like baking them like I normally do. These tasted wonderful and I didn't even add the butter or the nuts! I wanted to add some cranberries for fun but I was all out, so next time I make them I'll add them in. Can't wait -
TERRIFIC!!! Delish-iosa! TRUE! Made kitchen smell GREAT too! Was bit apprehensive how it would turn out, Happy Happy chappy...so can sing our praises and SHOUT! -
Let me say that I think this is a recipe to try. First because sweet potatoes are a "healthier" alternative to white potatoes and are often ignored except at Thanksgiving. Second, because it's an easy way to prepare them and who isn't looking for that? I think it's a recipe you try and it's certainly edible, and then you tweak with a little more of this or less of that to your liking. Thank You KyJo, I never would have thought of using the crockpot for this or using applesauce.

I was born and raised in Iowa but married my penpal of 8 years who was a Ky boy. We've been married 32 years. He's retired from the VA Hospital and I am no longer working outside the home because of health problems.
I stil love to read, just can't do it as well because of retinopathy in my eyes. I really feel like its been forever since I was last on this site. Looking forward to seeing how many of you I remember and vice versa.
P.S. My soul mate passed away from cancer on Nov 19, 2007. His was a short battle, but a courageous one. He was always my biggest fan, especially if I made peanut butter cookies.
I miss him lots, but know he's not hurting anymore. I think he would be proud of the fact that I've been able to go on, and I'm still doing some of the things we liked doing together.
I would like to remind everyone to tell the people you love, how much you love them everyday, because you just never know when they'll be gone.
