Notes

You may have figured out by now...I am a HUGE fan of potatoes!
 
This easy and yummy yam recipe is my all time fav Thanksgiving indulgence!
 
Everybody loves these...even those that swear they aren't yam fans!
 
As with so many of my recipes, I find "inspiration" in many places...including the back of cans.
 
Found the original recipe for these yams on the back of a can of Princella canned yams decades ago.
 
I work hard to create, recreate and tweak recipes to make them my own...making them healthier (even if only a little bit) and easier to prepare.
