It was an easy recipe to follow but it just wasn't sweet enough for us. Next time I might add a touch of sugar or more brown sugar. -
Great recipe! My family enjoyed it at Thanksgiving.

I am a teacher, and have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 9 years. I have a niece who is 7, and a nephew who is 1. Also, I have 2 sweet kitties. Sinatra is a bit on the plump side, and Audrey is a petite dainty thing. They both are almost mirror images of each other.
