  1. I have been making this recipe for years but without the pecans. I am going to make it with the pecans this year. Thanks Kathy! Hope you are enjoying your new home in Nashville. I have always thought you have the best personality and such a good and forgiving heart! I wish you all the best and thank you for the recipe!!!!
     
  2. Made this for Thanksgiving. I am not a big fan of sweet potatoes unless in a pie. I didn't feel like making a pie, so I found this. I added raisins and coconut to it. It was enjoyed by all. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. Made half the recipe which gave me 3 nice individual casseroles. Had no pecan halves so used chopped pecans but otherwise didn't and wouldn't change a thing! Made for My 3 Chefs Fall, 08. Thanks for sharing!
