Lemon Sweet Potatoes
"My old next-door neighbor made these every year for Thanksgiving. She got the recipe from Gourmet Mag.
Now I make it every year for Thanksgiving too.
You can assemble this and put it in the fridge until your ready to bake."

Fantastic with the sweetness from the sweet potatoes and the slight tartiness of the lemon a great side dish though I had to omit the egg yolk (the DS threw it out and it was my last egg) but in all honesty it didn't need it. Thank you E.A., made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup.

It's keeping me busy and I don't have nearly as much time to check out Zaar as I'd like. <br /> <br />Although I really like to cook, I can't always devote the time to cooking. I've found many recipes on this site that can be made quickly that are very tasty and healthy. I've also found A TON of recipes that I'm dying to try. <br />I've been able to contribute a few recipes to this site. Just so you know, I am THE WORST when it comes to typing. Many errors.
