"Becoming a tradition for Thanksgiving. I use the yellow sweet potatoes and not the orange ones. I find that the orange ones are too dense and wet and the yellow ones are more fluffy like regular potatoes. This is a very sweet casserole - almost like a dessert!"

We moved to Vancouver BC in 2005 from Seattle. We have two daughters, Ever Charis born July 20, 2006, and Nina Margeret born June 25, 2009. Both were born at home. (Dayment trivia: Nina was born at 12:30 pm Pacific Time, meaning she was born right when Michael Jackson died.) Update 2013: based on my experience with, well... everything, I now work at a nonprofit that supports women and their families with postpartum depression/anxiety. (www.postpartum.org) Sean loves to cook, I love to meal-plan and bake. It's a pretty good combination :o)  I also love Facebook and Pinterest.
