  1. Great recipe, I was in heaven!!! Only thing I did differently, I added a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. It was tender and buttery and sweet. Thank you for the recipe
     
  2. This one is great. For years, the only way I would eat sweet potatoes was my Mama's SP casserole, but this has changed my mind. The potatoes were sweet and had a good texture. My 4 year old even liked them. That's saying a lot. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Will definitely be eating more sweet potatoes in our house!
     
  3. Try using orange juice instead of water.
     
  4. Just had to review this because this is the way I have cooked sweet potatoes for years. It is a great recipe. Thanks for posting so that others can enjoy these as much as I do.
     
  5. Add two Granny Smith apples cut in 1/4" slices. Stagger the sweet potato ( which were cut in 1/4" slices after they cooled). Next time would like to put pecans over all.

I love cookbooks and have tons and TONS... right now I am trying to collect most of the Gooseberry Patch ones and have to have dh keep a list in his wallet so we dont buy duplicates. I love ones with pictures and love, love TOH ones. I have got my famous tilapia with jasmine rice published in TOH and have a few published in some GBP. I will find any excuse to buy a cookbook lol. I like practical cookbooks, nothing strange or difficult. Simple ordinary everyday family recipes.</p> <p><br /><br /><img src=http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8283/mybannerglitter0bf587ff.gif border=0 alt=Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com! /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/Graphics/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2011-4.jpg alt= width=200 height=266 /></p>
