My 13 year old daughter selected and made this recipe for our Thanksgiving dinner. Sweet potatoes are not a part of our tradition, so this was a new experience for us. Emily and I thought they were great, my 16 year old son rated them very good, and my husband (not a sweet potato fan at all) at least gave them a try. I loved the addition of the vanilla and nutmeg in this recipe, and the potatoes smelled heavenly while baking. Emily topped them with a few mini marshmallows since that is what she had heard sweet potatoes should alway have. The marshmallows pretty much melted and disappeared into the potatoes. I especially loved the potatoes when they mixed together with cranberry sauce on my dinner plate. Yumm, nice combination of sweet and tart! -
We made these for Thanksgiving. Our family really enjoyed them. had no left overs. Will make again. -
This recipe was very good and easy to make. I didn't use the orange zest that the recipe called for and I used canned sweet potatoes instead of fresh ones to save on time(I used 4 small cans). Lots of compliments on this one! -

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
