My oh my.... Last night I made some sweet potato casserole and it was sweet. The kids wanted me to make some just like Grandma Judy makes. They loved her special sweet potatoes but, I went to the store and couldn't find any like hers so I picked up some sweet potatoes and used a recipe from cooks.com and boy was it yummy but, it was sooo sweet. Diabetics pump up the insulin!! I think a better name would have been Sweet Potato Pudding or Pie.... Wow!! As I was mixing the ingredients together I realize they were almost the same as cookie batter. Maybe next time I will just make sweet potatoes and then have cookies for desert. If your kids won't eat their vegetable maybe you would like to try this recipe.
